Reflection Absorption Transmission
“REFRACTION” Emergent ray Refracted ray Incident ray
Light passing from one transparent medium to another of different optical density changes its speed. This results in a change in its direction of movement as soon as it enters the second medium.
Lenses Lens
Cardinal data of a lens • Centre of curvature (C) • Radius of curvature (r) • The principal axis (AB) • Optical centre (O) C O r C A B
The principal focus (F) • The focal length (f) • Power of a lens (P) O F f
Types of spherical lenses • Convex • Concave
Convex Lenses The magnifier Object seen through it moves in the opposite direction to the lens
Concave Lenses object seen through it moves in the same direction as the lens.
Cylindrical lens • Acts only in one axis i.e., power is incorporated in one axis, the other axis having zero power. • A cylindrical lens may be convex (plus) or concave (minus)
Cylindrical lens has a power only in the direction at right angle to the axis. • Parallel rays of light after passing through a cylindrical lens do not come to a point focus but form a focal line
TORIC SURFACE / ASTIGMATIC SURFACE ORANGE EGG
Sturm's conoid • The configuration of rays refracted through a toric surface is called the Sturm’s conoid.
The more curved meridian will have a greater refractive power than the less curved; hence if parallel rays fall upon a convex astigmatic surface the vertical rays will come to a focus sooner than the horizontal.
At the dioptric mid-point between these two focal lines, the astigmatic focus forms a circular patch known as the circle of least confusion circle of least confusion
Refractive components of the eye 1. The cornea which is the major refracting surface (about + 40 D). 2. The aqueous humour. 3. The lens (about + 20 D). 4. The vitreous body. NB. The total diopteric power of the eye is about + 58 D.

Gullstrand's concept of a schematic eye. • three pairs of cardinal points, which are situated on the principal axis of the system.

OPTICAL ABERRATIONS • Imperfections or lapses in the optical system • They normally exist to a small degree but functionally they are usually immaterial. • These include: • 1. Diffraction of light. • 2. Spherical aberrations. • 3. Chromatic aberrations. • 4.Coma etc
Bending of light caused by Edge of an aperture or Rim of a lens Diffraction of light
The actual pattern of a diffracted image point produced by the pupil is a series of concentric dark and bright rings. At its centre is a bright spot known as the Airy Disc. Diffraction blur increases with the small size of the pupil Diffraction of light
Spherical lens refracts peripheral rays more strongly than paraxial rays As a result the incoming rays do not come to a point focus Spherical aberrations
Occurs due to to the fact that the RI of any transparent medium varies with the wavelength of the incident light. Blue light is focussed slightly in front of the red Chromatic aberrations
Emmetropic eye-hypermetropic for red and myopic for blue & green. This forms the basis of the duochrome test in subjective refraction. Chromatic aberrations
coma • Light rays entering the optical at an angle are focused at different points than those entering the optical system on or near the optical axis. • Results in a comet-like image being formed away from the middle of the image
