  2. Coherence length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_length

    Multimode helium–neon lasers have a typical coherence length on the order of centimeters, while the coherence length of longitudinally single-mode lasers can exceed 1 km. Semiconductor lasers can reach some 100 m, but small, inexpensive semiconductor lasers have shorter lengths, with one source [4] claiming 20 cm. Singlemode fiber lasers with linewidths of a few kHz can have coherence ...

  3. Line of beauty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_beauty

    Serpentine lines from Hogarth's The Analysis of Beauty. Line of beauty is a term and a theory in art or aesthetics used to describe an S-shaped curved line (a serpentine line) appearing within an object, as the boundary line of an object, or as a virtual boundary line formed by the composition of several objects.

  4. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    Lines are marks moving in a space between two points whereby a viewer can visualize the stroke movement, direction, and intention based on how the line is oriented. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Lines describe an outline, capable of producing texture according to their length and curve . [ 3 ]

  5. Line art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_art

    Line art emphasizes form and drawings, of several (few) constant widths (as in technical illustrations), or of freely varying widths (as in brush work or engraving). Line art may tend towards realism (as in much of Gustave Doré 's work), or it may be a caricature , cartoon , ideograph , or glyph .

  6. Coherence (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(physics)

    The coherence length is defined as the distance the wave travels in time . [11]: 560, 571–573 The coherence time is not the time duration of the signal; the coherence length differs from the coherence area (see below).

  7. Line (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(graphics)

    Curved lines are often used to help lead the viewer's eye around a work. Both are commonly used in the creation of individual shapes or objects. Lines may also vary in length and width. Anything longer than an individual point may be considered a line and lines can continue indefinitely.

  8. Composition (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(visual_arts)

    The viewpoint of visual art is fundamental because every different perspective views different angled lines. This change of perspective elicits a different response to the image. Changing the air only by some degrees or some centimeters lines in embodiments can vary tremendously, and a distinct feeling can be transported.

  9. Contour drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_drawing

    Contour drawing is an essential technique in the field of art because it is a strong foundation for any drawing or painting; it can potentially modify a subjects’ form through variation within the lines. It is widely accepted among schools, art institutions, and colleges as an effective training aid and discipline [3] for beginner artists. In ...
