Written Questions and Answers concerning the Two Papers Above
Pierre Mertz (Chairman, SMPTE Board of Editors; Consultant, Lido Beach, L.I., N. Y.): The method of computation seems to be, for each of several assumed rays emerging from the object into the lens, to find where that ray lands on the assumed image plane. Now, because of diffraction, that ray does not stay of infinitesimal cross section, but appears as a diffraction pattern on the image plane. This aspect does not seem to be considered in the computation.
