Question

How to determine system matrix of a planoconvex lens?

Answer 1

Hey friend,

Here is ur answer,

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data I have to find the ray transfer matrix for a Plano convex lens, with a 5 cm radius and refraction index n=1.8.........


2. Relevant equations Refraction at a curved surface: ( 1 0 n 1 − n 2 R n 2 n 1 n 2 ) (10n1−n2Rn2n1n2) Propagation matrix for the inside: ( 1 d 0 1 ) (1d01) Refraction at a flat surface: ( 1 0 0 n 1 n 2 ) (100n1n2)


3. The attempt at a solution I would multiply the three matrices like this: ( 1 0 0 n 1 n 2 ) ( 1 d 0 1 ) ( 1 0 n 1 − n 2 R n 2 n 1 n 2 ) (100n1n2)(1d01)(10n1−n2Rn2n1n2)...........



Hope helps for u ..........if my answer is useful to u ..mark as brainliest...................
