Unified Physics / Optics (Electromechanical Technology Series)

These materials are intended to introduce both basic geometric optics and the laser. The student using these materials should have a working knowledge of technical mathematics including algebra and trigonometry. The materials are presented in an action-oriented format combining many of the features normally found in a textbook with those usually associated with a laboratory manual. LIGHT SOURCES 1 LASER SOURCES 6 REFLECTION I (Plane Surfaces) 12 REFLECTION II (Curved Surfaces) 18 REFRACTION 25 POLARIZATION 33 DIFFRACTION 40 INTERFERENCE 47 TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION 54 SIMPLE LENSES 60 BASIC LENS SYSTEMS 71 LENS ABERRATIONS 77 CAMERA PARAMETERS 88 PHOTOELECTRIC DEVICES 98 PHOTOELASTICITY 106 Experiment Data Sheets This manual, along with the others in the Electromechanical Technology Series, is the result of six years of research and development by TERC, a national nonprofit, public service corporation with headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It has undergone a number of revisions as a direct result of experience gained with students in technical schools and community colleges throughout the country.
