  2. Focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

    The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light; it is the inverse of the system's optical power.

  3. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    For a thin lens in air, the distance from the lens to the spot is the focal length of the lens, which is commonly represented by f in diagrams and equations. An extended hemispherical lens is a special type of plano-convex lens, in which the lens's curved surface is a full hemisphere and the lens is much thicker than the radius of curvature.

  4. Camera lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lens

    Normal lens: angle of view of the diagonal about 50° and a focal length approximately equal to the image diagonal. Wide-angle lens: angle of view wider than 60° and focal length shorter than normal. Long-focus lens: any lens with a focal length longer than the diagonal measure of the film or sensor. [10] Angle of view is narrower.

  5. Least distance of distinct vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_distance_of_distinct...

    The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. In optometry, the least distance of distinct vision (LDDV) or the reference seeing distance (RSD) is the closest someone with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can comfortably look at something. [1]

  6. Photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_lens_design

    Long-focus lens - a lens with a focal length greater than the diagonal of the film frame or sensor. Long focus lenses are relatively simple to design, the challenges being comparable to the design of a prime lens. However, as the focal length increases the length of the lens and the size of the objective increase in size and length and weight ...

  7. Ray transfer matrix analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_transfer_matrix_analysis

    f = focal length of lens where f > 0 for convex/positive (converging) lens. Only valid if the focal length is much greater than the thickness of the lens.

  8. Thin lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_lens

    The signs are reversed for the back surface of the lens: R 2 is positive if the surface is concave, and negative if it is convex. This is an arbitrary sign convention; some authors choose different signs for the radii, which changes the equation for the focal length. For a thin lens, d is much smaller than one of the radii of curvature (either ...

    A magnifying glass is a convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object. ... (one focal length away). The eye can then be a larger distance away ...
