  2. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging/diverging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging or converging rays. In other words, a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object.

  3. Uncertainty principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

    where = is the reduced Planck constant.. The quintessentially quantum mechanical uncertainty principle comes in many forms other than position–momentum. The energy–time relationship is widely used to relate quantum state lifetime to measured energy widths but its formal derivation is fraught with confusing issues about the nature of time.

  4. Image segmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_segmentation

    The result of image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image, or a set of contours extracted from the image (see edge detection). Each of the pixels in a region are similar with respect to some characteristic or computed property, [ 3 ] such as color , intensity , or texture .

  5. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    In contrast, a real image can be projected on the screen as it is formed by rays that converge on a real location. A real image can be projected onto a diffusely reflecting screen so people can see the image (the image on the screen plays as an object to be imaged by human eyes). [2] A plane mirror forms a virtual image positioned behind the ...

  6. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    If, in an unsharp image, a patch of light corresponds to an object point, the center of gravity of the patch may be regarded as the image point, this being the point where the plane receiving the image, e.g., a focusing screen, intersects the ray passing through the middle of the stop. This assumption is justified if a poor image on the ...

  7. Erect image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erect_image

    In optics, an erect image is one that appears right-side up. An image is formed when rays from a point on the original object meet again after passing through an optical system. In an erect image, directions are the same as those in the object, in contrast to an inverted image.

  8. Plane mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_mirror

    A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come. Actually, the image formed in the mirror is a perverted image , there is a misconception among people about having confused with perverted and laterally-inverted image. If a person is reflected in a plane mirror, the image of his right hand ...

  9. Virtual particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle

    In the adjacent image, the solid lines correspond to actual particles (of momentum p 1 and so on), while the dotted line corresponds to a virtual particle carrying momentum k. For example, if the solid lines were to correspond to electrons interacting by means of the electromagnetic interaction , the dotted line would correspond to the exchange ...
