I'm writing an essay on this topic for a long research paper we have to write for my highschool program. These videos are really helpful for my studies, so thank you! Keep up the great work!
Hello, thank you always for your helping videos:) Do you mind making one regarding the thickness of the lens as more than 0?? And I’d be more than happy if you post videos of how to derive the ray transfer matrices for flat and curved mirrors too.. Please consider making them:)
In general, R2 can be negative or positive, but you will want to subtract 1/R1 from 1/R2 because you're going from low refractive index -> high refractive index in one case and high refractive index -> low in the other case.
