Diopters - Physics Insights The diopter number of a lens is the inverse of the focal length of the lens, measured in meters Thus, a lens with a focal length of 1 meter is a 1 diopter lens A lens with a focal length of 1 inch, which is about 1 39 meter, is a 39 diopter lens A negative lens is treated identically Thus, a lens with a focal length of -1 2 meter is a -2 diopter lens The reason this is a useful way to
The Shopping Trip -- Part II Ever since I read the stories of his adventures on Mars and Venus I'd wanted to meet "Space Cat", I thought with a chuckle, but I'd never pictured this as the meeting place!
First Pickup - physicsinsights. org This installment was also very kindly provided to us by Professor Johann Schnarchhund of Miskatonic University Johann again assures us that this first person account, narrated by Isis Resillechat, is very much as it was received by his daughter, Taurina For additional information please see the Iemy Papers
Back to Square 1, Part I The following is the seventh installment of the tale which began with Takeoff, and continued with Shopping Trip Parts I through IV and The Test Flight All prior installments should be read before this page, as that may help to render the following events marginally less obscure
Captain Rant -- Prologue Captain Rant and the Water Spout -- Prologue As we look down upon the water, we observe that the gradual gray light of dawn leaking into the eastern sky has revealed a single vessel between the sheltering shores of the harbor The name painted on the stern, barely visible in the dusky light, appears to read Flederaal Let us descend to this vessel and see what business it has here

Lens and Mirror Images - Physics Insights This page is largely here just for reference; it's simple plug'n'chug calculation using similar triangles, and there's not much exciting or surprising in the results (I'll mention some examples of each configuration as I go to try to add a little interest ) We'll consider the real and or virtual images formed from a scene by ideal positive and negative lenses, and by ideal positive and
