    Abstract:

    A new and simple technique for the determination of the focal length of positive lenses and concave spherical surfaces by Talbot interferometry is described. Results of measurements are presented. We show that high measurement accuracy can be achieved with this technique.

    Influence of Earth's Curvature and Atmospheric Refraction on Leveling

    During leveling, the Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction introduce deviations in the line of sight from a true horizontal reference. When the line of sight is leveled, it remains perpendicular to the plumb line only at a single point. Beyond this, it deviates due to the Earth’s curvature, represented by the correction C. For a sight distance D, the deviation can be derived using the relationship:This relationship shows that the deviation increases quadratically with distance. Over a...
