I need some help with the 2 lens inverted ray diagram. Like i need someone to describe to me what it looks like or could show me an example of 1. thxn
The discussion revolves around understanding the inverted ray diagram involving two biconvex lenses, specifically in the context of a telescope setup. Participants are exploring how the arrangement of lenses affects the orientation of the image produced.
Some participants have provided guidance on starting with the ray diagram for the first lens and using the resulting image as the object for the second lens. There is acknowledgment of the need for further clarification regarding the inverted nature of the image.
Participants mention specific distances between the lenses and express uncertainty about how to represent the inverted image in the diagram. There is a reference to a lab manual that may provide additional context, but the focus remains on the specific inverted ray diagram challenge.
Mindscrape said:Could you explain further, perhaps with a drawing, of what you mean by 2 lens inverted ray diagram?
Mindscrape said:Ah, the standard telescope. How do you think it is any different from any other situation? Instead of one lens to do the ray tracing for, you would encounter another lens. You know about the whole focus/parallel, parallel/focus bit, right?
This lab manual may be of help to you.
