Well, after much blood, sweat, and tears, I have the ray tracing site finished! I'm currently working on a basic optics site, as well -- which will cover topics such as focal power and prism. This site will bring any OptiBoarders up to speed who want to understand the ray tracing section better. I probably won't begin serious effort on the basic optics site until I see how many people show some interest in it.
The ray tracing site also has a little calculator built into it to perform some simple object/image calculations. As requested, I tried to keep the math to a minimum on the actual site.
You can reach the main site at:
www.opticampus.com
Just go to the "Simple Ray Tracing of Thin Lenses" site. Remember, you will need Internet Explorer (or AOL, which uses IE) to view it properly.
If you have any comments or suggestions, or find any errors, please let me know.
Enjoy.
Best regards,
Darryl
