Considering the lens in Problem 6.29, determine its focal length and the location of the focal points with respect to its vertices V1and V2.

Data from Prob. 6.29

Figure P.6.29 shows two identical concave spherical mirrors forming a so-called confocal cavity. Show, without first specifying the value of d, that after traversing the cavity two times the system matrix is

2d 2d 20(1-2) 2d 1 1 –2

Then for the specific case of d = r show that after four reflections the system is back where it started and the light will retrace its original path.

Figure P.6.29 4 3 M2 M1 |R|=|R2]=r

2d 2d 20(1-2) 2d 1 1 2 Figure P.6.29 4 3 M2 M1 |R|=|R2]=r
