Synopsis
A practical guide to understanding geometrical optics, with clear explanations of how lenses and mirrors form images. It covers how achromatic and rectilinear designs reduce distortion, and why stops and aperture size matter for image sharpness and light.
The book also explains telephotography concepts, showing how combining convergent and divergent lenses can create long focal lengths without an unwieldy camera size. It includes worked examples and exam-style problems to illustrate how optical systems behave in real devices like telescopes and camera lenses.
- How orthoscopic and rectilinear designs reduce distortion in optical instruments.
- How telephotography achieves large distant images using lens combinations and stops.
- Worked problems and practical exercises related to telescope and camera optics.
- Historical and practical notes on common optical components, such as Ramsden’s eye-piece.
Ideal for readers of introductory optics, physics students, and anyone curious about how everyday optical devices work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of geometrical optics, a branch of physics that examines the behaviour of light as it interacts with lenses, mirrors, and other surfaces. Rooted in the fundamental principles of light's rectilinear propagation and the laws of reflection and refraction, the author delves into a range of optical phenomena. The text progresses through core concepts such as image formation in mirrors and lenses, the intricacies of refraction through various media, and the principles underlying optical instruments like telescopes and microscopes. It delves into the practical applications of these principles, offering insights into the design and function of optical devices. With a focus on clear explanations and detailed diagrams, the author unravels the complexities of geometrical optics, making it accessible to students and enthusiasts alike. The inclusion of numerous examples and problems further solidifies understanding, encouraging readers to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. Ultimately, this book illuminates the elegant principles governing the behaviour of light, revealing its profound impact on our understanding of the visual world.
