The elliptic paraboloid is shaped like an oval cup and can have a maximum or minimum point. In a suitable coordinate system with three axes x, y, and z, it ... more
In physics, Babinet’s principle states that the diffraction pattern from an opaque body is identical to that from a hole of the same size and shape ... more
Black-body radiation is the thermal electromagnetic radiation within or surrounding a body in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment, or emitted by ... more
In radio electronics, especially radar terminology, slant range is the line-of-sight distance between two points which are not at the same level relative ... more
Slant height is the height of any slant triangle of the regular pyramid, or the distance from the apex, down the side, to a point on the base ... more
Noise figure (NF) and noise factor (F) are measures of degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), caused by components in a ... more
In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can ... more
Aperture is a “hole” or an opening through which light travels. The aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle ... more
Angular resolution or spatial resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, ... more
