Physics Validator

About

The Physics Validator ensures that optical imaging simulations for telescopes, microscopes, and cameras adhere to fundamental physical laws and constraints. It automatically analyzes Fresnel numbers to determine appropriate diffraction propagation methods, checks resolution limits using Rayleigh and Abbe criteria, and verifies that Nyquist sampling requirements are met to prevent aliasing. By validating parameters like numerical aperture, wavelength, and focal lengths against realistic ranges, this skill helps researchers and developers avoid numerical instabilities and produce scientifically sound simulation results within the PRISM framework.
