Classical Want help in finding a book for questions on geometric optics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding resources for geometric optics, specifically questions related to locating the position of mirrors using ray diagrams when only the object and image are provided. A participant mentions having already consulted I.E. Irodov's work but seeks additional materials. Recommendations include S.S. Krotov's "Aptitude Test Problems in Physics," which is noted for its challenging questions despite having only 20 in the optics chapter. Another suggestion is "Advanced School Physics" by Cengage, particularly part 2, which covers optics. The search for paperback versions of these books has proven difficult for some participants, leading to the consideration of downloading the texts instead.

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

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)
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
