  2. Sign convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_convention

    The sign of the weight of a tensor density, such as the weight of the determinant of the covariant metric tensor. The active and passive sign convention of current, voltage and power in electrical engineering. A sign convention used for curved mirrors assigns a positive focal length to concave mirrors and a negative focal length to convex mirrors.

  3. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    When measuring the height of an inverted image using the cartesian sign convention (where the x-axis is the optical axis) the value for h i will be negative, and as a result M will also be negative. However, the traditional sign convention used in photography is "real is positive, virtual is negative". [1]

  4. Radius of curvature (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Radius of curvature sign convention for optical design. Radius of curvature (ROC) has specific meaning and sign convention in optical design. A spherical lens or mirror surface has a center of curvature located either along or decentered from the system local optical axis. The vertex of the lens

  5. Thin lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_lens

    A lens may be considered a thin lens if its thickness is much less than the radii of curvature of its surfaces (d ≪ | R 1 | and d ≪ | R 2 |).. In optics, a thin lens is a lens with a thickness (distance along the optical axis between the two surfaces of the lens) that is negligible compared to the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces.

  6. Geometrical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_optics

    Similarly to curved mirrors, thin lenses follow a simple equation that determines the location of the images given a particular focal length and object distance (): + = where is the distance associated with the image and is considered by convention to be negative if on the same side of the lens as the object and positive if on the opposite side ...

  8. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    A diagram showing the optical center of a spherical lens. N and N' are the lens nodal points. The optical center of a spherical lens is a point such that If a ray passes through it, then its lens-exiting angle with respect to the optical axis is not deviated from the lens-entering angle.
