I How to calculate the focal length and focal point of collimator?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the focal length and focal point of a collimator with a 3mm diameter, it's essential to consider the active area of the detector, which is 180 micrometers. A sketch of the setup can help clarify the relationship between the collimator and the detector. The current dimensions may not provide sufficient information for accurate calculations. Additional details or parameters may be necessary to proceed effectively. Understanding the geometry and configuration is crucial for precise calculations.

TL;DR Summary
I wanted to calculate the focal length and focal point of the collimator. The collimator diameter is 3mm and I wanted to focus on the 100-micrometre active area of the detector.

Hello @Barbossa ,
:welcome: !​
That is very interesting. Do you have any input for your calculation ?

Is this homework or a school lab ?

Hi
Thanks!. Yeah! The detector active area is 180 µm and lens diameter is 3 mm.
 
Yes, you said that. Do you realize that isn't enough ? What about a sketch of the situation, and what it is that you want to do -- exactly.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
