  2. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    The following plots show the difference in spherical power at a 0 mm vertex distance (at the eye) and a 12 mm vertex distance (standard eyeglasses distance). 0 mm is used as the reference starting power and is one-to-one. The second plot shows the difference between the 0 mm and 12 mm vertex distance powers.

  3. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    The lift coefficient C L is defined by [2] [3] = =, where is the lift force, is the relevant surface area and is the fluid dynamic pressure, in turn linked to the fluid density, and to the flow speed.

  4. Clustering coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustering_coefficient

    In graph theory, a clustering coefficient is a measure of the degree to which nodes in a graph tend to cluster together. Evidence suggests that in most real-world networks, and in particular social networks, nodes tend to create tightly knit groups characterised by a relatively high density of ties; this likelihood tends to be greater than the average probability of a tie randomly established ...

  5. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    BVD Back vertex distance is the distance between the back of the spectacle lens and the front of the cornea (the front surface of the eye). This is significant in higher prescriptions (usually beyond ±4.00D) as slight changes in the vertex distance for in this range can cause a power to be delivered to the eye other than what was prescribed.

  6. Lattice constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_constant

    A simple cubic crystal has only one lattice constant, the distance between atoms, but in general lattices in three dimensions have six lattice constants: the lengths a, b, and c of the three cell edges meeting at a vertex, and the angles α, β, and γ between those edges. The crystal lattice parameters a, b, and c have the dimension of length.

  7. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry.It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line.

  8. Radius of curvature (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    where the optic axis is presumed to lie in the z direction, and () is the sag—the z-component of the displacement of the surface from the vertex, at distance from the axis. If α 1 {\displaystyle \alpha _{1}} and α 2 {\displaystyle \alpha _{2}} are zero, then R {\displaystyle R} is the radius of curvature and K {\displaystyle K} is the conic ...

  9. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    A skilled frame stylist will help the wearer select a good balance of fashionable frame size with good vertex distance to achieve ideal aesthetics and field of view. The average vertex distance in a pair of glasses is 12-14mm. A contact lens is placed directly on the eye and thus has a vertex distance of zero.
