Amsler's Equation

Amsler's Equation describes how light bends when it passes from one medium to another with different densities, such as from water to air or glass to air. It states that the apparent size or position of an object changes based on the angles and the refractive indices (a measure of how much a material bends light). In simple terms, it helps us understand how lenses and optical systems, like glasses or microscopes, influence our perception of objects by altering how light travels toward our eyes. This principle is fundamental in designing and analyzing optical devices to correct or enhance vision.
