Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple optical system with one lens of focal length 25 cm and a 15 cm space. Calculate the output ray height and angle using matrices.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to apply the lens formula while calculating.

Question 2

Given two media (water with n=1.33 and air with n=1.0) and a spherical surface with radius -10 cm, derive the refraction matrix and explain how light would behave at the surface.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on what happens as light transitions from water to air.
