Exercise 2: Deriving the 1st Order and 3rd Order Optics Formulas
In this video, I derive the first-order and third-order optics formulas by approximating the refraction formula for light using first and third-order Taylor polynomials, respectively. Refraction refers to the change in the direction of light as it passes between different mediums due to a change in speed. Light naturally travels in a way that minimizes time, and this principle helps us derive formulas for how light refracts when entering a material. The distances light travels before and after passing through an optical lens can be calculated using the Law of Cosines, which leads to a complex equation. However, we simplify this equation using Taylor polynomial approximations.
In the first part of the video, I derive the first-order, or Gaussian optics, formula by approximating the cosine function in the distance equations with its first term, which is simply 1.
In the second part, I derive the third-order Gaussian optics formula by using the third-degree Taylor polynomial for cosine, which includes the first two non-zero terms. I also apply a given hint to approximate the inverse of the distances using the first two terms of their respective binomial series. Additionally, I use a second hint to approximate the angle with its sine, which introduces a term involving the height. After working through the algebra, I arrive at the third-order optics formula!
