... The first practical optical instrument—namely spectacles—appeared in 1270 as well, in Florence, Italy. Interestingly, spectacles do not represent a development in optics as much they do an advance in packaging. As evidenced by the writings of Bacon, Europeans were already aware of a lens’s ability to ...

... Light from the sky is gradually refracted more towards the horizontal as the air near the ground has a lower refractive index (optically less dense). Total internal reflection takes place when it meets a layer of air at an angle greater than the critical angle. The image of the sky is then formed on ...

... Quite often, a request for a specific light pattern can easily be achieved by using several different standard lenses. A simple example of this is a normal car head lamp: there needs to be one specific solution for the low-beam light, while the high beam light can be achieved by using another optica ...

Harold Hopkins (physicist)

Harold Horace Hopkins FRS (1918–1994) was a renowned British physicist. His Wave Theory of Aberrations, (published by Oxford University Press 1950), is central to all modern optical design and provides the mathematical analysis which enables the use of computers to create the wealth of high quality lenses available today. In addition to his theoretical work, his many inventions are in daily use throughout the world. These include zoom lenses, coherent fibre-optics and more recently the rod-lens endoscopes which 'opened the door' to modern key-hole surgery. He was the recipient of many of the world's most prestigious awards and was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize. His citation on receiving the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 1984 stated: ""In recognition of his many contributions to the theory and design of optical instruments, especially of a wide variety of important new medical instruments which have made a major contribution to clinical diagnosis and surgery.""
