27
Calculate the Lens Thickness
Given: F1 = +2.00, F2 = -8.00 and n = 1.5
lens dia. = 80 mm, and tC = 2 mm.
T = 11.6 mm
S = (Fh^2) ÷ 2000(n - 1)
s1 = -6(40^2) ÷ 2000(1.5 - 1) = 9.6mm + 2mm =
11.6 mm
Note: Every minus lens has a minimum thickness where you must add 2mm
28

29
What is the formula for Total Light Transmission?
TIT = L - (reflection + absorption)
30
What is the formula for Reflection?
R = (n’ - n)^2 ÷
| (n’ + n)^2
31
How much light is transmitted by CR-39, assuming no absorption?
92.2%
R = (1.498-1)^2 ÷
(1.498 + 1)^2 = 4.0% (F1)
Then 96 would be the I, and since 4% was the reflected, it would be 96% x 4% = 3.8% reflected. 96% - 3.8% = 92.2%
32
In regards to absorption, if you add more layers, what would that do to the absorption?
Absorption will increase and light being refracted will decrease
33
What does Lambert's law state?
Given an absorptive material such as a tinted lens, layers of equal thickness absorb equal % of light regardless of the intensity...
34
What is the formula for light transmitted after absorption?
Ix = Io x q^x
35
Find T of crown glass, n =1.523,assuming the q value = 0.8 / 2 mm and tc = 6mm
46.9%
F surface = 4.3%
95.7 (0.8^3) = 0.49
B surface =0.49 x 0.043 = 0.021
T= Ix - Rb
0.49 -0.021 = 0.469 or 46.9%
36
What is the short cut formula for Total light transmitted?
T = Io x (q^x)
37
