Thank you so much! I knew I was just missing something obvious! I think I've got parts a, b, c, d, and f correct. But I'm still a bit unsure of what is being asked in part e? I don't know what they mean by format size. Any ideas? Again thank you for your help. a. the effective focal length...

Homework Statement I've tried to attached the image of the diagram. If that isn't working please let me know.Height of incident marginal ray now 25. Assume a thin lens. Find: a. the effective focal length b. the power of the lens c. surface curvature for front and back surfaces (assume...

Homework Statement What is the focal length of a dewar window distorted by a pressure difference? As a result of the pressure difference, the radius of the first surface of the window is R1 = 100 meters. The window is 3 mm thick, with an index n = 4 at l = 4 um. Homework Equations I think I...

Thank you for the response. I feel the same way that's why I was asking. There is no mention of specific type of aberration in the question, and as far as I can tell from the reading you can use any number between 3-5 depending on the different aberration you are dealing with. I was hoping...
