Controlled assessment research Focus length of a lens- The most important characteristic of a lens is its principal focal length‚ or its inverse which is called the lens strength or lens "power". Optometrists usually prescribe corrective lenses in terms of the lens power in diopters. The lens power is the inverse of the focal length in meters: the physical unit for lens power is 1/meter which is called diopter Convex- The word convex means curving out or bulging outward‚ as opposed to concave

Human Eye vs. Camera Lens Prof. Richard B. Baber The Art Institute of Tampa ENC-2210‚ Section A November 05‚ 2013 Abstract Being a photographer I have slowly started to notice similarities between how we see things and how a camera sees things. My research paper will be on just how similar our eyes operate compared to the lens on a camera body. What are the exact similarities and differences between the human eyes and a camera lens and in general terms‚ how a camera

How does a Lens Refract Light? Different Lenses refract light in different ways. First‚ we will look at a double convex lens. Several light rays will approach the convex lens in a parallel manner. After they approach the lens‚ each ray will refract towards the normal. The light is passing from an optical less dense medium (Air) into a more dense medium (such as plastic or glass) at this boundary. Since the light rays are passing the boundary from a less dense medium in which light travels fast (optically

Lens flare‚ a visual mistake in photographs caused by external light‚ is a very interesting example of atmospheric optics. While hated at first amongst photographers and cinematographers‚ lens flare is‚ nowadays‚ a must-have in photography and films. Starting with Citizen Kane in 1941‚ lens flare was first used intentionally in film. Lens flare is a result of particulate matter (matter that changes state within the atmosphere) interacting with light and‚ additionally‚ getting itself trapped inside

There are several genera of micro-organisms related to contact lens storage case contamination. Unlike CL contamination which is bacterial in nature‚ storage case contamination is often polymicrobial.(Larkin et al. 1990; Gray et al. 1995) Gray et al found that bacterial contamination is common in 77% of lens cases‚ followed by contamination with fungi (24%) and then protozoan (20%). Most commonly found organisms include Pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ Staphylococcus spp‚ Acanthamoeba spp and Fusarium species

taking previous classes it was determine that no one lens fits the values of student Nayeli Trejos. The professor shocked with the results‚ and no student prior to Nayeli received that score in the lens test. This has to do with the fact that a person is not a particular lens all the time but shifts into a lens‚ depending on the situation. Two dilemmas were presented to the student after coaching in each lens the best decision based on the lens was chosen. The student had the opportunity to make

Sarah Steltmann 9/7/14 Critical Lens Essay “A friend who dies‚ it’s something of you who dies.” Gustave Flaubert Gustave Flaubert was correct when he once said‚ “A friend who dies‚ it’s something of you who dies.” By this he meant that when a person loses someone close to them‚ they never fully recover‚ almost like there’s a hole in their heart that can never be refilled. Two books that prove this are My Book of Life by Angel‚ by Martine Leavitt‚ and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of
