Question
Chapter 18.2, Problem 26SSC
To determine
The meaning and use of thin lens approximation.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When light passes from one medium to another, it refracts from its original path. When light passes through lens, it also bends thereby influencing the final image.
Thin lens approximation simplifies calculations for lenses. It assumes that all the refraction in a lens occurs at the principal plane which passes through the center of the lens.
