Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

An equation is derived for the trajectory of a light ray through a lenticular medium where the refractive index decreases with increasing distance from some line, but not according to the square law, and an approximate solution to this equation is found for the cases of constant curvature and oscillating curvature of that line.
