Excerpt from Thick-Lens Optics: An Elementary Treatise for the Student and the Amateur This volume is the outcome of an attempt to answer certain questions regarding the optics of the microscope and telescope; questions to which no thoroughly satisfactory answer could be found in any literature accessible to the author. Many answers were found, but they were discordant and unusable for practical work, mainly by reason of their complexity and seeming contradictoriness and lack of co-ordination. The following pages seek to answer these questions in a manner so plain and simple that the average amateur can find out for himself what is going on optically in his camera, microscope, or telescope. To this end the mathematics is of the simplest kind, so that the busy man who has forgotten all or most of his mathematics can nevertheless work his way through, provided he can use the simplest kind of algebra, two theorems in elementary geometry and one in trigonometry. For the reader who has not had trigonometry, the few simple principles required are given in the text. So far as mathematical difficulties go, any high-school student is sufficiently equipped. As an aid to concreteness and clearness the investigations are based upon graphic principles as much as possible and along intuitive lines.

This book is the culmination of twenty-five years of teaching Geometrical Optics. The volume is organised such that the single spherical refracting surface is the basic optical element. Spherical mirrors are treated as special cases of refraction, with the same applicable equations. Thin lens equations follow as combinations of spherical refracting surfaces while the cardinal points of the thick lens make it equivalent to a thin lens. Ultimately, one set of vergence equations are applicable to all these elements.The chapters are devoted to in-depth treatments of stops, pupils and ports; magnifiers, microscopes, telescopes, and camera lenses; ophthalmic instruments; resolving power and MTF; trigonometric ray tracing; and chromatic and monochromatic aberrations. There are over 100 worked examples, 400 homework problems and 400 illustrations.First published in 1994 by Penumbra Publishing Co.

University Physics is a three-volume collection that meets the scope and sequence requirements for two- and three-semester calculus-based physics courses. Volume 1 covers mechanics, sound, oscillations, and waves. Volume 2 covers thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and Volume 3 covers optics and modern physics. This textbook emphasizes connections between between theory and application, making physics concepts interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the mathematical rigor inherent in the subject. Frequent, strong examples focus on how to approach a problem, how to work with the equations, and how to check and generalize the result. The text and images in this textbook are grayscale.

Optics: Ninth Edition Optics: Ninth Edition covers the work necessary for the specialization in such subjects as ophthalmic optics, optical instruments and lens design. The text includes topics such as the propagation and behavior of light; reflection and refraction – their laws and how different media affect them; lenses – thick and thin, cylindrical and subcylindrical; photometry; dispersion and color; interference; and polarization. Also included are topics such as diffraction and holography; the limitation of beams in optical systems and its effects; and lens systems. The book is recommended for engineering students who are in need of an introduction to the subject and the mathematics involved in it.
