  2. Pedophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia

    [1] [2]: vii Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12, [3] psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13. [4] People with the disorder are often referred to as pedophiles (or paedophiles). Pedophilia is a paraphilia.

  3. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

    The wedge prism is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. This angle is usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from the prism.

    Figure 2. Geometry of a prism compressor Figure 3. Effective pathlength for a prism compressor with A = 100 mm, θ = 55°, and α = 10°. The colors correspond to different values of B, where B = 67.6 mm means that the beam barely hits the tips of both prisms at refractive index 1.6.

  5. Dioptre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre

    The amplitude of accommodation is about 11 to 16 dioptres at age 15, decreasing to about 10 dioptres at age 25, and to around 1 dioptre above age 60. Convex lenses have positive dioptric value and are generally used to correct hyperopia (farsightedness) or to allow people with presbyopia (the limited accommodation of advancing age) to read at ...

  6. East Asian age reckoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_age_reckoning

    How the age of a Korean person, who was born on June 15, is determined by traditional and official reckoning. Traditional East Asian age reckoning covers a group of related methods for reckoning human ages practiced in the East Asian cultural sphere, where age is the number of calendar years in which a person has been alive; it starts at 1 at birth and increases at each New Year.

  7. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).
