On the Cartesian plane the principle axes are the x horizontal axis and the vertical y axis whereas both axes cross each other at the point of origin which is at (0, 0)
----------
In an ellipse the major axis is the line that includes the most distant points on the ellipse; the minor axis includes the closest points. An ellipse is a two-dimensional object which can be generalised to three or more dimensions known as ellipsoids. The line that includes the most distant points on an ellipsoid is called the principle axis of that ellipsoid.

the principal or horizontal axis of a system of coordinates, points along which have a value of zero for all other coordinates.
Well this only occurs if the lens is parabolic. It is just a fundamental feature of a parabola to reflected an incident ray parallel to the principal axis through the focal point. That is why lenses etc are parabolic. I dont know if this answers your question (it probably doesnt) but oh well...
Next to the axis. Next to the axis. Next to the axis. Next to the axis.
The conjugated principal point is a term used in optics to refer to the point where the chief ray of a light ray bundle passes through the optical axis after being reflected or refracted by an optical system. It is also known as the focal point or image point. The position of the conjugated principal point depends on the characteristics and parameters of the optical system.
The y- axis in the vertical axis and the x-axis in the horizantal axis
The principal axis of a hyperbola is the straight line joining its two foci.
The principal axis of a mirror is an imaginary line that passes through the center of curvature and the vertex of the mirror. Light rays parallel to the principal axis either converge or diverge after reflecting off the mirror.
principal focus is the ray which diverge at a point on the other side of the lensPrincipal Axis lens have two centre of culvature,the line passing through them and joining these centres is called principal axis.
When rays parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror are reflected, they converge at the focal point.
there can be two ways to cut a convex lens into two equal parts-- one, along the principal axis and another, perpendicular to the principal axis. If the lens is cut along the principal axis, then there will bo NO change in the focal length of the lens. But, if it is cut perpendicular to the principal axis, then the focal length will be twice the original one.
The pole of a lens is the midpoint of the lens' geometric axis. It is where the principal axis intersects the lens.
It is reflected back parallel to the principal axis. (apex)
It reflects out through the focus.
After passing through a diverging lens, a focal ray will diverge away from the principal axis of the lens.
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected through the focal point of the mirror after reflection.
The three principal axes of rotation for the human body are the longitudinal axis (running from head to toe), the transverse axis (running horizontally from side to side), and the anterior-posterior axis (running from front to back). These axes determine the planes in which the body can move and rotate.
Yes, rays that are parallel and close to the principal axis are known as paraxial rays. These rays are used in geometrical optics to simplify calculations and analyses of optical systems.
