๐ Understanding Optics
Lenses:
- Converging: Positive focal length, real images
- Diverging: Negative focal length, virtual images
- Power: Measured in diopters (1/f in meters)
- Magnification: m = -di/do
Mirrors:
- Concave: Converging, positive focal length
- Convex: Diverging, negative focal length
- Same equations: As thin lenses
- Real vs Virtual: Based on image distance sign
Refraction:
- Snell's Law: nโsin(ฮธโ) = nโsin(ฮธโ)
- Critical Angle: ฮธc = arcsin(nโ/nโ)
- Total Internal Reflection: When ฮธโ > ฮธc
- Applications: Fiber optics, prisms
