Adding Ideal Optical Devices - simphysoftwares/SimPHY-docs GitHub Wiki

You can add optical devices like

  1. Convex and concave lens (from the Refractors menu)
  2. Convex and concave mirror (from the Reflectors menu)
  3. Plane mirror (from the Reflectors menu)

Click the following triangular icon to open this toolbar

You can create an optical device like an ideal mirror or lens using this tool menu by selecting/creating 2 points.

Note: These optical instruments will act as ideal in nature following the reflection and refraction properties strictly without showing any spherical or chromatic aberration.

Note: As soon as you add a lens a property table will open on the left hand side, you can edit the properties like show-axis, show focus, rays-color, change focal length (you can enter variable expression here as shown in below gif) by this property table.

Ideal Surfaces

Note: If you want a concave mirror just make the focal length negative, in the same manner you can add ideal mirrors too.
