  2. History of optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_optics

    Isaac Newton (1643–1727) investigated the refraction of light, demonstrating that a prism could decompose white light into a spectrum of colours, and that a lens and a second prism could recompose the multicoloured spectrum into white light. He also showed that the coloured light does not change its properties by separating out a coloured ...

  3. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    A ray trace through a prism with apex angle α. Regions 0, 1, and 2 have indices of refraction, , and , and primed angles ′ indicate the ray's angle after refraction.. Ray angle deviation and dispersion through a prism can be determined by tracing a sample ray through the element and using Snell's law at each interface.

  4. Four prism dioptre reflex test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_prism_dioptre_reflex_test

    When the prism is placed in front of the non-deviating eye, the eye under the prism will move in and the fellow eye move out in the same way discussed above due to Herring's law. However similarly to the response given by a patient with central suppression, the fellow eye will not make a fusional convergence movement back in as the image ...

    Red-tinted lenses were considered effective in reducing internecine pecking because they disguise the color of blood. [7] As summed up in a 1953 article in Indiana's National Road Traveler newspaper, "The deep rose-colored plastic lenses make it impossible for the cannibal [chicken] to see blood on the other chickens, although permitting it to see the grain on the ground."

    Other additives used in crown glasses include zinc oxide, phosphorus pentoxide, barium oxide, fluorite and lanthanum oxide. The crown/flint distinction is so important to optical glass technology that many glass names, notably Schott glasses, incorporate it. A K in a Schott name indicates a crown glass (Krone in German).

  7. Dioptre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre

    Thus an eye care professional, having determined that a myopic (nearsighted) person requires a basic correction of, say, −2 dioptres to restore normal distance vision, might then make a further prescription of 'add 1' for reading, to make up for lack of accommodation (ability to alter focus). This is the same as saying that −1 dioptre ...
