The Diffraction Grating Equation A diffraction grating is a plate on which there is a very large number of parallel, identical, close-spaced slits When monochromatic light is incident on a grating,...
Diffraction Diffraction is the spreading out of waves when they pass an obstruction Diffraction through a gap This obstruction is typically a narrow gap (a slit, or aperture) Diffraction is usually...

Thin Lenses in Combination When multiple lenses are used in series (one after the other) this is called a compound lens To find the total power of a compound lens, find the sum of the powers of the...
Power of a Lens The power of a lens is a measure of its ability to refract light The more refraction a lens causes, the higher its power The power of a lens measures how strongly it focuses the lig...
Using Ray Diagrams Describing images formed by lenses Images are described using three concepts They are either: Real or virtual Bigger than, the same size as or smaller than the object Inverted or...
