Ray Optics 2024 New Notes

This 3-sentence summary provides an overview of key concepts from the document on ray optics: Ray optics deals with the propagation of light in terms of rays and how light interacts with obstacles, where rays are valid approximations if the sizes are large in comparison to the wavelength of light. Important terms include luminous objects that emit their own light, non-luminous objects that are visible through reflection, beams of light as bundles of adjacent rays, and the differences between real and virtual images formed by converging and diverging light rays.

Disadvantages of Reframing Telescope


Aberrations Actual image formed an optical system is usually

images are called aberration .

chromatic aberration The
image of an object by a lens is usually

focal length of a lens is different for different colours

Reflecting Telescope

Reflecting Type Telescope :

Newtonian Telescope .

Note: for three reason ,


modern telescopes use a concave mirror
rather than a lens .

·
There is no abervation in mirror .
· due to parabolic reflecting surface , spherical aberration is
removed :
·
Mechanical Support is much less needed ·
