  2. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Vertex distance. Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the power of the ...

  3. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.

    Farey sunburst of order 6, with 1 interior (red) and 96 boundary (green) points giving an area of 1 + ⁠ 96 / 2 ⁠ − 1 = 48 [1]. In geometry, Pick's theorem provides a formula for the area of a simple polygon with integer vertex coordinates, in terms of the number of integer points within it and on its boundary.

    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. Distance (graph theory) - Wikipedia

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

    A peripheral vertex in a graph of diameter d is one whose eccentricity is d —that is, a vertex whose distance from its furthest vertex is equal to the diameter. Formally, v is peripheral if ϵ(v) = d. A pseudo-peripheral vertex v has the property that, for any vertex u, if u is as far away from v as possible, then v is as far away from u as

  7. Sagitta (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    The sag S(r) is the displacement along the optic axis of the surface from the vertex, at distance from the axis. A good explanation of both this approximate formula and the exact formula can be found here .

    [1] [2] Said chess puzzle corresponds to a "64 dots puzzle", i.e., marking all dots of an 8-by-8 square lattice, with an added constraint. [a] The Columbus Egg Puzzle from The Strand Magazine, 1907. In 1907, the nine dots puzzle appears in an interview with Sam Loyd in The Strand Magazine: [4] [2] "[...] Suddenly a puzzle came into my mind and ...

  9. Resistance distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_distance

    A fan graph is a graph on n + 1 vertices where there is an edge between vertex i and n + 1 for all i = 1, 2, 3, …, n, and there is an edge between vertex i and i + 1 for all i = 1, 2, 3, …, n – 1. The resistance distance between vertex n + 1 and vertex i ∈ {1, 2, 3, …, n} is +
