Want help in finding a book for questions on geometric optics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding additional resources for geometric optics questions, particularly those involving ray diagrams for mirrors when only object and image positions are provided. Participants recommend "Aptitude Test Problems in Physics" by S.S. Krotov and "Advanced School Physics" by Cengage, specifically part 2 for optics. The user expresses disappointment in the limited number of questions available in Krotov's book, which contains only 20 questions in the optics chapter.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of geometric optics principles
  • Familiarity with ray diagram techniques
  • Basic knowledge of mirror equations
  • Experience with problem-solving in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore "Aptitude Test Problems in Physics" by S.S. Krotov for additional practice
  • Study "Advanced School Physics" by Cengage, focusing on optics
  • Research online resources for geometric optics problem sets
  • Review mirror equations and ray diagram construction techniques
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators seeking teaching materials, and anyone preparing for competitive exams in optics and related fields.

guys i want a book where i can find questions on geometric optics especially for questions based on locating position of mirror by ray diagram when only object and image are given?
I have already found 2 questions in I.E. Irodov but i want more so please suggest other books.....
thnx
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I was about to suggest I.E.Irodov but you already have it :smile:. Try S.S. Krotov's Aptitude test problems in physics (MIR publications).
 
hmmmm... thnx bro i am now trying to find a paperback version of the book in my city, with no luck so far, i guess i will have to downoad the book, anyway thnx a lot
 
its a very short book with only 20 questions in optics chapter.....
though each question is quite brain teasing but still a bit disappointed in the quantity of questions, thnx anyway
 
Try advanced school physics by cengage (part 2 for optics)
