Rays and wavefronts. In optics, a ray is an idealized geometrical model of light or other electromagnetic radiation, obtained by choosing a curve that is perpendicular to the wavefronts of the actual light, and that points in the direction of energy flow.
Deep blue ray refers the radius of curvature and the red line segment is the sagitta of the curve (black).. In optics and especially telescope making, sagitta or sag is a measure of the glass removed to yield an optical curve.

Optical format is a hypothetical measurement approximately 50% larger than the true diagonal size of a solid-state photo sensor.The use of the optical format means that a lens used with a particular size sensor will have approximately the same angle of view as if it were to be used with an equivalent-sized video camera tube (an "old-fashioned" TV camera).
