  2. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    So a standard 50 mm lens for 35 mm photography acts like a 50 mm standard "film" lens even on a professional digital SLR, but would act closer to a 75 mm (1.5×50 mm Nikon) or 80 mm lens (1.6×50mm Canon) on many mid-market DSLRs, and the 40-degree angle of view of a standard 50 mm lens on a film camera is equivalent to a 28–35 mm lens on ...

  3. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    Visual angle is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees of arc . It also is called the object's angular size . 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 can represent ...

  4. Angular resolution - Wikipedia

    The result, θ = 4.56/D, with D in inches and θ in arcseconds, is slightly narrower than calculated with the Rayleigh criterion. A calculation using Airy discs as point spread function shows that at Dawes' limit there is a 5% dip between the two maxima, whereas at Rayleigh's criterion there is a 26.3% dip. [3]

  5. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    v. t. e. Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings. It is an axonometric projection in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angle between any two of them is 120 degrees.

  6. Image sensor format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

    In digital photography, the image sensor format is the shape and size of the image sensor . The image sensor format of a digital camera determines the angle of view of a particular lens when used with a particular sensor. Because the image sensors in many digital cameras are smaller than the 24 mm × 36 mm image area of full-frame 35 mm cameras ...

  7. Sternal angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternal_angle

    The sternal angle is a palpable and visible landmark in surface anatomy, presenting as either a slight body ridge or depression upon the upper chest wall which corresponds to the underlying manubriosternal joint. [ 4] The sternal angle is palpable and often visible in young people. [ 2]: 319. The sternal angle corresponds to the level of the ...

  8. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    Luminous intensity. In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength -weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye. The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit .

  9. Right angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle

    Solid. v. t. e. In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees or ⁠ 2 ⁠ radians [ 1] corresponding to a quarter turn. [ 2] If a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles. [ 3] The term is a calque of Latin angulus rectus; here rectus means ...
