  2. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    The words "opacity" and "opaque" are often used as colloquial terms for objects or media with the properties described above. However, there is also a specific, quantitative definition of "opacity", used in astronomy, plasma physics, and other fields, given here.

  3. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.

LFX (name dependent on manufacturer) – 1310 nm, for a distance up to 5 km. Single-mode fiber, LC connector, with blue color coding

  5. Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics

    Optics is the branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter.

  6. Diffraction grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_grating

    A blazed diffraction grating reflecting only the green portion of the spectrum from a room's fluorescent lighting. For a diffraction grating, the relationship between the grating spacing (i.e., the distance between adjacent grating grooves or slits), the angle of the wave (light) incidence to the grating, and the diffracted wave from the grating is known as the grating equation.

  7. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    Vision of humans and other organisms depends on several organs such as the lens of the eye, and any vision correcting devices, which use optics to focus the image.. The eyes of many animals contains a lens that focuses the light of its surroundings onto the retina of the eye.

  8. Optical flat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_flat

    Optical flats in case. About 2.5 centimetres (1 in) in diameter. The third flat from the left is standing on edge, showing the thickness. A λ/20 optical flat that has been coated with aluminum, making a first-surface mirror Two optical flats tested using 589 nm laser-light.

  9. Cone cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell

    The difference in the signals received from the three cone types allows the brain to perceive a continuous range of colors, through the opponent process of color vision. ( Rod cells have a peak sensitivity at 498 nm, roughly halfway between the peak sensitivities of the S and M cones.)
