Physics Validator FAQs

Question 1

What does the Physics Validator skill do?

Accepted Answer

The Physics Validator is a specialized capability for Claude Code that validates optical physics parameters. it ensures that configurations for telescopes, microscopes, and cameras are physically realistic by checking Fresnel numbers, resolution limits, and sampling requirements.

Question 2

How does it improve my AI-assisted coding workflow?

Accepted Answer

Instead of manually looking up physics formulas, the Physics Validator allows Claude to proactively verify the physical integrity of your code. This reduces the trial-and-error cycle in optical engineering and ensures your simulations produce scientifically valid data.

Question 3

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

You should use this skill whenever you are writing or debugging code for optical imaging simulations. It is particularly helpful when setting up new instrument configurations, selecting propagation methods, or troubleshooting unexpected simulation results like aliasing or blur.

Question 4

Can this skill prevent common simulation errors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It specifically targets 'silent' physical errors such as Nyquist sampling violations that cause aliasing, impossible Numerical Aperture (NA) values, and wavelength ranges that fall outside typical visible or near-IR spectra.

Question 5

How does this skill handle diffraction regimes?

Accepted Answer

It automatically calculates the Fresnel number based on your aperture, wavelength, and distance. It then identifies whether your simulation is in the Fraunhofer (far-field) or Fresnel (near-field) regime and recommends the correct mathematical propagation method (FFT vs. Angular Spectrum).
