  2. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    The following plots show the difference in spherical power at a 0 mm vertex distance (at the eye) and a 12 mm vertex distance (standard eyeglasses distance). 0 mm is used as the reference starting power and is one-to-one. The second plot shows the difference between the 0 mm and 12 mm vertex distance powers.

  3. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    The lift coefficient C L is defined by [2] [3] = =, where is the lift force, is the relevant surface area and is the fluid dynamic pressure, in turn linked to the fluid density, and to the flow speed.

  4. Clustering coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustering_coefficient

    In graph theory, a clustering coefficient is a measure of the degree to which nodes in a graph tend to cluster together. Evidence suggests that in most real-world networks, and in particular social networks, nodes tend to create tightly knit groups characterised by a relatively high density of ties; this likelihood tends to be greater than the average probability of a tie randomly established ...

  5. Radius of curvature (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature_(optics)

    where the optic axis is presumed to lie in the z direction, and () is the sag—the z-component of the displacement of the surface from the vertex, at distance from the axis. If α 1 {\displaystyle \alpha _{1}} and α 2 {\displaystyle \alpha _{2}} are zero, then R {\displaystyle R} is the radius of curvature and K {\displaystyle K} is the conic ...

  6. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    A skilled frame stylist will help the wearer select a good balance of fashionable frame size with good vertex distance to achieve ideal aesthetics and field of view. The average vertex distance in a pair of glasses is 12-14mm. A contact lens is placed directly on the eye and thus has a vertex distance of zero.

  7. Sagitta (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(optics)

    Deep blue ray refers the radius of curvature and the red line segment is the sagitta of the curve (black).. In optics and especially telescope making, sagitta or sag is a measure of the glass removed to yield an optical curve.

  8. Vertex (curve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(curve)

    In the geometry of plane curves, a vertex is a point of where the first derivative of curvature is zero. [1] This is typically a local maximum or minimum of curvature, [ 2 ] and some authors define a vertex to be more specifically a local extremum of curvature. [ 3 ]

  9. Vertex (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(graph_theory)

    A graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges where the vertex number 6 on the far-left is a leaf vertex or a pendant vertex. In discrete mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit of which graphs are formed: an undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges (unordered pairs of vertices), while a directed graph ...
