What is a surface normal?
There is no such expression. The normal to a surface, at a given point is the radius of curvature of the surface, at that point.
What does curvature ratio mean in tubing?
Radius of curvature divided by tube diameter. To get the radius of curvature, imaging the bend in the tube is a segment of a circle, the radius of curvature is the radius of that circle.
What is the spherical radius of 1 foot?
It is the distance from the centre to all points on the surface of a sphere with a radius of 1 foot.
What is the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature of a circle, or an arc of a circle is the same as the radius of the circle.For a curve (other than a circle) the radius of curvature at a given point is obtained by finding a circular arc that best fits the curve around that point. The radius of that arc is the radius of curvature for the curve at that point.The radius of curvature for a straight line is infinite.
Why is the sum of the angles of spherical triangles always larger than the sum of the angles of plane triangles?
Because, to allow for the curvature of the spherical surface, each angle must be slightly larger than its plane-surface equivalent.
What is the center of curvature of a lens?
The center of curvature of a lens is the point located at a distance equal to the radius of curvature from the center of the lens. It is the point where the principal axis intersects the spherical surface of the lens.
What is the difference between Radius of curvature and centre of curvature?
The radius of curvature is the distance from the center of a curved surface or lens to a point on the surface, while the center of curvature is the point at the center of the sphere of which the curved surface is a part. In other words, the radius of curvature is the length of the line segment from the center to the surface, while the center of curvature is the actual point.
What is the principle of spherometer?
A spherometer is a measuring instrument used to determine the curvature, or radius of curvature, of a spherical surface. It consists of three legs resting on the surface being measured, with a central screw that can be adjusted to touch the surface at its center. The principle of operation is based on measuring the change in height of the central leg when the screw is adjusted, allowing calculation of the radius of curvature.
What is radius of curvature?
The radius of the sphere of which a lens surface or curved mirror forms a part is called the radius of curvature.
Which doesnot change when spherical mirror is broken?
Its radius of curvature and its reflecting property
How can a spherical mirror become a plane mirror?
By increasing its radius of curvature to infinity.
The relation between focal length and radius of curvature of spherical mirror is?
The relation between focal length (f), radius of curvature (R), and the focal point of a spherical mirror can be described by the mirror equation: 1/f = 1/R + 1/R'. The focal length is half the radius of curvature, so f = R/2.
What is the significance of the radius of curvature in physics and how does it relate to the behavior of light or other waves?
The radius of curvature is important in physics because it determines the curvature of a wavefront or a mirror or lens surface. In the case of light or other waves, the radius of curvature affects how the waves are focused or dispersed. A smaller radius of curvature results in a more curved surface, which can focus light or waves to a point, while a larger radius of curvature leads to a flatter surface that disperses the waves.
What is the ratio of focal length of a spherical mirror to its radius curvature?
The focal point of a convex mirror lies on the same side as the centre of curvature and is at a distance of half the radius of curvature from the optical centre.
What is Radius of curvature of a lens?
The radius of curvature of a lens is the distance between the center of the lens and its focal point. It is a measure of the curvature of the lens surface. A smaller radius of curvature indicates a more curved lens, while a larger radius indicates a flatter lens.
What is a surface normal?
There is no such expression. The normal to a surface, at a given point is the radius of curvature of the surface, at that point.
What is definition for the centre of curvature of a spherical mirror?
The center of curvature of a spherical mirror is the point at the center of the sphere from which the mirror is a part. It is located at a distance equal to the radius of the sphere. The center of curvature is an important point for determining the focal length and the magnification of the mirror.
