Discuss the principle of Michelson interferometer. How can it be used to determine
the refractive index of a thin plate and wavelength of monochromatic light?
‘Diffraction limits the image forming capability of optical devices’. Discuss the
authenticity of this statement for the particular case of a microscope.
Could you please explain the following with an illustration:
Astigmatism results when a lens is unable to bring light passing through one part of a lens to the same focal point as light passing through another part.
Is the following correct?
Spherical abberation is corrected by using compound lens system, each being a combination of SEVERAL concave and convex lenses.
