      2. James Gregory did it in 1663.

      3. Christian Dopler did it in 1842.

    1. What is the today’s concept of an image?

      1. An image is considered as innumerable separate points of light.

      3. An image is considered as a combination of real and virtual images.

      4. An image is being composed of overlapping patterns of different frequencies.

    1. Who and how laid the foundation for the formal procedures of lens design?

      1. Isaac Newton having created the corpuscular theory of light.

      2. Gauss having made the geometrical theory of light, which was later extended to the calculation of five principal aberrations.

      3. Maxwell having found the equations for electromagnetic field, that helped to identify optics with electromagnetism.

      4. Gabor having developed the theory of holography.
