Lens makers equation
The Lens Maker's Equation describes how the curvature and material of a lens determine its ability to focus light. It relates the focal length (the distance at which light converges) to the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces and the refractive index (a measure of how much light bends in a material). Specifically, this equation helps in designing lenses for glasses, cameras, and other optical devices, ensuring they can bring light to a precise point for clear images. Understanding this relationship is essential for creating effective optical systems.
