Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using the ABCD Matrix Method, derive the final ray angle for a system with two lenses: an initial lens with a matrix \[M_1\] and a second lens with matrix \[M_2\]. Assume an initial ray vector \[\begin{bmatrix} y_0 \ \theta_0 \end{bmatrix}\].

πŸ’‘ Hint: Keep track of your angles and ensure proper matrix multiplication.

Question 2

Given a complex system with multiple lenses and distances, express the final ray height in terms of the initial height and the parameters of each matrix.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Map out each element’s effect step-by-step to clarify the transformations.
