Optics Help: Lens and Mirror Specs for 100m Image

[ashwin33]

Homework Statement

[PLAIN]http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/2301/82412829.jpg

for image situated at 100 metres distance from the lens and need to reflect the image that is captured form the lens using a mirror
so that their will be clear visiblity of the the obj
what should be the specifications of the lens
what should be the mirror specifications & will their be any problem in clarity of the image if i use a split beam mirror
and what will be advantages using a spit beam mirror or a prism beam spliter

Homework Equations

actually i am not belonging to this subject
but in my case i need to copy some equations for net. which i don't want to

The Attempt at a Solution

p.s: this is not any home work problem... this will be help full in my work

Welcome to the PF.

How will this be helpful in your work? What are you trying to build?

thanks for ur welcome

i am a freelance trying to make a optical device which will be able to see image at certain angles apart form line of sight so that the image be viewed at 2 angles at the given point of time (i.e: line of sight and 45 deg from line of sight ) using split beam mirror or prism

and one more question
i can only see images and some information regarding split beam ..in every image it is used with laser ..will it be useful if i use it with natural sun light?

Sounds a bit like a Heads-Up Display arrangement?

not exactly but yes
it the same principle used for autocollimator also

actually i made a basic POC using a mirror and normal glass (it works)

now my problem is
are the lens used in cameras and the lens used in binoculars same?
what are the possible lens specifications to be use for a to veiw a object at a distance of 100m
and what are the pros and cons of spilt prism and split mirror , what will be the quality of the image?
and is there any other way to split the natural light beam apart form the above mentioned ways

and i have a confined space (my working space is 6-10 inches max)

what is this 18mm ,34mm and 55 mm is this the distance between lens and image or some thing else?
i can only find least difference in bigger bottle ...
can i have a varible lens that has a range of 18mm-55mm
