  2. Goat grazing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_grazing_problem

    Find the area between a circle and its involute over an angle of 2 π to −2 π excluding any overlap. In Cartesian coordinates, the equation of the involute is transcendental; doing a line integral there is hardly feasible. A more felicitous approach is to use polar coordinates (z,θ).

  3. Regiomontanus' angle maximization problem - Wikipedia

    a = the height of the bottom of the painting above eye level; b = the height of the top of the painting above eye level; x = the viewer's distance from the wall; α = the angle of elevation of the bottom of the painting, seen from the viewer's position; β = the angle of elevation of the top of the painting, seen from the viewer's position.

  4. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    The diagram on the right shows an observer's eye looking at a frontal extent (the vertical arrow) that has a linear size , located in the distance from point . For present purposes, point O {\displaystyle O} can represent the eye's nodal points at about the center of the lens, and also represent the center of the eye's entrance pupil that is ...

  5. Macula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macula

    The macula (/ˈmakjʊlə/) [1] or macula lutea is an oval-shaped pigmented area in the center of the retina of the human eye and in other animals. The macula in humans has a diameter of around 5.5 mm (0.22 in) and is subdivided into the umbo, foveola, foveal avascular zone, fovea, parafovea, and perifovea areas.

  6. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    Sketch 1: Instantaneous center P of a moving plane. The instant center of rotation (also known as instantaneous velocity center, [1] instantaneous center, or pole of planar displacement) of a body undergoing planar movement is a point that has zero velocity at a particular instant of time.

  7. Eye relief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_relief

    For a shooter, eye relief is also a safety consideration. If the eye relief of a telescopic sight is too short, leaving the eye close to the sight, the firearm's recoil can force the optic's eyepiece to hit and cut into the skin around the shooter's eye, leaving a curved scarring laceration on the medial end of the supraorbital ridge and the ...

  8. Fundus (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundus_(eye)

    Fundus photographs of the right eye (left image) and left eye (right image), as seen from the front (as if face to face with the viewer). Each fundus has no sign of disease or pathology. The gaze is into the camera, so in each picture the macula is in the center of the image, and the optic disc is located towards the nose. Both optic discs have ...

  9. Fovea centralis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fovea_centralis

    The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye.It is located in the center of the macula lutea of the retina. [1] [2]The fovea is responsible for sharp central vision (also called foveal vision), which is necessary in humans for activities for which visual detail is of primary importance, such as reading and driving.
