  2. Autocollimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocollimator

    An autocollimator works by projecting an image onto a target mirror and measuring the deflection of the returned image against a scale, either visually or by means of an electronic detector. A visual autocollimator can measure angles as small as 1 arcsecond (4.85 microradians), while an electronic autocollimator can have up to 100 times more ...

  3. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Simulation showing how adjusting the angle of view of a camera, while varying the camera's distance and keeping the object in frame, results in vastly differing images. At narrow angles and long distances, light rays are nearly parallel, resulting in a "flattened" image. At wide angles and short distances, objects appear foreshortened or distorted.

  4. Ray transfer matrix analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_transfer_matrix_analysis

    Each optical element (surface, interface, mirror, or beam travel) is described by a 2 × 2 ray transfer matrix which operates on a vector describing an incoming light ray to calculate the outgoing ray. Multiplication of the successive matrices thus yields a concise ray transfer matrix describing the entire optical system.

  5. Calculator (Apple) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_(Apple)

    A calculator function has been included with iOS since its launch on iPhone [3] and iPod Touch. [4] However, iPads have never had a first-party calculator application, until the announcement of iPadOS 18 in 2024. A native calculator function was added to the Apple Watch with watchOS 6, which included a dedicated button for calculating tips. [5]

  6. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The sagitta also has uses in physics where it is used, along with chord length, to calculate the radius of curvature of an accelerated particle. This is used especially in bubble chamber experiments where it is used to determine the momenta of decay particles. Likewise historically the sagitta is also utilised as a parameter in the calculation ...

  7. Specular reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_reflection

    The image in a flat mirror has these features: It is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front. It is the same size as the object. It is the right way up (erect). It is reversed. It is virtual, meaning that the image appears to be behind the mirror, and cannot be projected onto a screen.

  8. iMovie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMovie

    iMovie is a free video editing application made by Apple for the Mac, the iPhone, and the iPad. [2] It includes a range of video effects and tools like color correction and image stabilization, but is designed to be accessible to users with little or no video editing experience. [3] iMovie's professional equivalent is Apple's Final Cut Pro X. [4]

  9. Lloyd's mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd's_mirror

    In a modern implementation of Lloyd's mirror, a diverging laser beam strikes a front-surface mirror at a grazing angle, so that some of the light travels directly to the screen (blue lines in Fig. 1), and some of the light reflects off the mirror to the screen (red lines). The reflected light forms a virtual second source that interferes with ...
