The resolution of a digital cameras is limited by two factors diffraction by the lens, a limit of any optical system, and the fact that the sensor is divided into discrete pixels. consirer a typical point-and--shoot camera that has a lens and a sensor with pixels.
(a) . First, assume an ideal, diffractionless lens, at a distance of what is the smallest distance, in between two point sources of light that the camera can barely resolve? in answering this question, consider what has to happen on the sensor to show two image points rather than one you can use
(b) . You can achieve the pixel-limied resolution of part a only if the diffraction which of each image point no greater than the diffraction width of image point is no greater than pixel in diameter. for what lens diameter is the minimum spot size equal to the width of a pixel ? use for the wavelength of light.
(c). what is the of the lens for the diameter you found in part b? your answer is a quite realistic value of the at which a camera transitions from being pixel limited to being diffraction limited for smaller than this (larger-diameter apertures), the resolution is limited by the pixel size and does not change as you change the apertures. for larger than this (smaller-diameter apertures). the resolution is limited by diffraction and it gets worse as you "stop down" to smaller apertures.
A common optical instrument in a laser laboratory is a beam expander. One type of beam expander is shown in FIGURE P . The parallel rays of a laser beam of width w1 enter from the left.
a. For what lens spacing d does a parallel laser beam exit from the right?
b. What is the width w2 of the exiting laser beam?
A -focal-length converging lens is to the right of a -focal-length converging lens. A -tall object is distance L to the left of the first lens.
a. For what value of L is the final image of this two-lens system halfway between the two lenses?
b. What are the height and orientation of the final image?
Suppose a camera’s exposure is correct when the lens has a focal length of 8.0 mm. Will the picture be overexposed, underexposed, or still correct if the focal length is “zoomed” to 16.0 mm without changing the diameter of the lens aperture? Explain
A -tall object is from a screen. A diverging lens with focal lengthis in front of the object. What are the focal length and distance from the screen of a second lens that will produce a well-focused, -tall image on the screen?
