    1 cmlength of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cmlength of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cmlength of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cmlength of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile; 1.7 cmlength of a Thorius arboreus, the smallest salamander [111] 2 cm – approximate width ...

  3. Image sensor format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

    Because the image sensors in many digital cameras are smaller than the 24 mm × 36 mm image area of full-frame 35 mm cameras, a lens of a given focal length gives a narrower field of view in such cameras. Sensor size is often expressed as optical format in inches. Other measures are also used; see table of sensor formats and sizes below.

    Horses are used to measure distances in horse racing – a horse length (shortened to merely a length when the context makes it obvious) equals roughly 8 feet or 2.4 metres. Shorter distances are measured in fractions of a horse length; also common are measurements of a full or fraction of a head, a neck, or a nose. [10]

  5. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    For example, if a lens's focal length were 100 mm and its entrance pupil's diameter were 50 mm, the f-number would be 2. This would be expressed as " f /2 " in a lens system. The aperture diameter would be equal to f/2. Camera lenses often include an adjustable diaphragm, which changes the size of the aperture stop and thus the entrance pupil ...

  6. Aspect ratio (image) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

    Common aspect ratios used in film and display images. The common film aspect ratios used in cinemas are 1.85:1 and 2.39:1. [1] Two common videographic aspect ratios are 4:3 (1. 3:1), [a] the universal video format of the 20th century, and 16:9 (1. 7:1), universal for high-definition television and European digital television.

  7. Facial width to height ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_width_to_height_ratio

    Facial width to height ratio (fWHR) is a measure of the width of a person’s face compared to its height. [1] Research has shown that higher FWHR is associated with various physical and behavioral traits, such as adolescent testosterone, [ 2 ] aggression , [ 3 ] attractiveness to women, [ 4 ] cause of death by violence, [ 5 ] CEO success as ...

  8. Display aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_aspect_ratio

    Most televisions were built with an aspect ratio of 4:3 until the late 2000s, when widescreen TVs with 16:9 displays became the standard. [2] This aspect ratio was chosen as the geometric mean between 4:3 and 2.35:1, an average of the various aspect ratios used in film. [3]
