Example text

2 A ray directed toward the first nodal point (N1) of an optical system emerges from the system without angular deviation and appears to come from the second nodal point (N2). 24 Chapter Two The power of a lens or of an optical system is the reciprocal of its effective focal length; power is usually symbolized by the Greek letter phi (␾). If the focal length is given in meters, the power (in reciprocal meters) is measured in diopters. , inϪ1, mmϪ1, cmϪ1, etc. 3 Image Position and Size When the cardinal points of an optical system are known, the location and size of the image formed by the optical system can be readily determined.

(b) the ray is in water and the other material is air.

43) where y1 and y2 are the ray heights at the principal planes of components #1 and #2, u′1 is the slope angle after passing through component #1, and d is the axial distance from the second principal plane of component #1 to the first principal plane of component #2. Note that these equations are equally applicable to systems composed of either thick or “thin” lenses. Obviously, when applied to thin lenses, d becomes the spacing between elements, since the element and its principal planes are coincident.
