Optics, by Eugene Hecht, 4th Edition, Pearson Addison Wesley Errata, by Chris Mack, chris@ While teaching out of this book at the University of Texas at Austin, Spring 2008, I discovered the following errors: p. 112, equation (4.16), top line, the argument of the cosine is missing the minus sign between k·r and ωt. p. 147, problem 69, the problem is a bit unclear – it should say make a sketch versus the incident angle. p. 191-2, Figure 5.65 and 5.66 are swapped. p. 235, Problem 5.26, the sentence “The image projected by an equiconvex…” should read “The real image projected by an equiconvex…” to be more clear. p. 240, Figure P.5.65 should label which mirror is primary and which mirror is secondary. p. 252, the sentence immediately following equation (6.39) should end with f = −R/2, not f = −2/R . p. 316, the footnote to Table 7.1, the right-hand side of the equation at the end of the footnote uses ν (frequency) when it should use the mean frequency (ν with a bar over the top). pp. 393 – 402, the gray boxes for equations are misaligned with respect to their equations. p. 397, right hand column, first paragraph, last sentence: “In the same way, an ideal line source results in a cylindrical wave.” This sentence is not true. p. 409, equation (9.44) should include, on the left hand side, the refractive index of air. p. 441, Figure P.9.36 should be labeled P.9.38. p. 449, section 10.1.3, second line, the reference to Fig. 10.3 should be Fig. 10.4. p. 558, problem 11.20, the hint at the end of the problem is enigmatic (“You might make use of the fact the δ(x) is even.”) since the standard proof asked for in this problem does not use the fact that the delta function is even. p. 559, Problem 11.30, the equation includes, at the right-hand side, 1/αβ. The αβ should be enclosed in an absolute value sign, 1/|αβ|.
