Chapter 3.Geometrical Optics
Light Ray : the path along which light energy is transmitted from one point to another in an optical system.
Speed of Light : Speed of light (in vacuum): a fundamental (or a “defined”) constant of nature given byc = 299,792,458 meters / second = 186,300 miles / second.

Collimated Plane Wave Spherical Wave
At time 0, wavefront is defined by line (or curve) AB. Each point on the original wavefront emits a spherical wavelet which propagates at speed caway from the origin. At time t, the new wavefrontis defined such that it is tangent to the wavelets from each of the time 0 source points. A ray of light in geometric optics is found by drawing a line from the source point to the tangent point for each wavelet.
Optical path length Optical path length
The optical path length in a medium is the integral of the refractive index and a differential geometric length:

Consider imaging of object point O by the Cartesian surface Σ. The optical path length for any path from Point O to the image Point I must be the same by Fermat’s principle.

The Cartesian or perfect imaging surface is a paraboloid in three dimensions. Usually, though, lenses have spherical surfaces because they are much easier to manufacture.

Reflection from a spherical convex surface gives rise to a virtual image. Rays appear to emanate from point I behind the spherical reflector.
Reflection at Spherical Surfaces II Reflection at Spherical Surfaces II
Considering Triangle OPC and then Triangle OPI we obtain:
2θ α ϕ θ α α′= + = +
Combining these relations we obtain:
2α α ϕ′− = −
Again using the small angle approximation:

Reflection at Spherical Surfaces III Reflection at Spherical Surfaces III Now find the image distance s' in terms of the object distance s and mirror radius R:

At this point the sign convention in the book is changed and the imaging equation becomes:

The following rules must be followed in using this equation:
1. Assume that light propagates from left to right. Image distance s is positive when point O is to the left of point V.
2. Image distance s' is positive when I is to the left of V (real image) and negative when to the right of V (virtual image).
3. Mirror radius of curvature R is positive for C to the right of V (convex), negative for C to left of V (concave).
Reflection at Spherical Surfaces IV Reflection at Spherical Surfaces IV
The focal length f of the spherical mirror surface is defined as –R/2, where R is the radius of curvature of the mirror. In accordance with the sign convention of the previous page, f > 0 for a concave mirror and f < 0 for a convex mirror. The imaging equation for the spherical mirror can be rewritten as
