Program Description

Concept

Optical geometry : An abstract concept of determining the path of light rays. In our case optical geometry is mixed with optics (from physics), to approximate the position and dimensions of the final image.

Implementations

1. The program reads values imputed by the user.
2. The program calculates the resulting values (h_i, h_o, M).
3. The program then creates the animations that it animated depending on the location and height of the image, found through the calculations.

Formulas used in calculations

¹⁄_f = ¹⁄_di + ¹⁄_do, M = ^h_i⁄_ho = -^d_i⁄_do

f = focal length
M = magnification
hi = image height 
ho = image height
di = object distance
do = object height

Pythagorean theorem : a² + b² = c² ; was also used to calculate the ray lengths and trigonometry was used to calculate the ray angles in the animation.
