The path of light through a convex lens is refracted (bent) such that parallel rays of light that enter the lens are brought to a common point or focus.
The point at which light from a distant object converged to a point after being refracted or reflected.
The point of a mirror or lens where all light that runs parallel to the principal axis will be focused. Concave mirrors and convex lenses are designed to focus light into the focal point. Convex mirrors and concave lenses focus light away from the focal point.
The physical point in space toward which the satellite reflector dish directs the received signal so it can be processed.
The point at which an image is sharp.
The point on the optical axis where light rays form a sharp image of a subject. An ideal lens would allow light rays to diverge from a subject parallel to the optical axis and converge to a point when they pass through the lens.
The spot where the laser beam is focused below the beam delivery lens. This spot is where the energy of the laser beam is the most condensed. By changing lenses, a focal point can be larger or smaller, depending on needs.
when parallel light rays enter a lens a perfect lens will cause the light rays to converge on a single point before fanning out again to reach the film. This point is the 'rear' or 'image' focal point. There is also a 'front' or 'object' focal point.
The point on the axis of a lens to which parallel rays of light will meet.
the point at which light rays from a mirror or lens intersect.
Any point in a horoscope where several influences converge or disperse, such as the position of the squared planet in a T-square formation, the action point in a yod, the handle of a bucket, etc. See also T-square.
A network node within an ONM network that collects information and makes it available to network personnel, and to Entry Points and Service Points. From a network management point of view, the Focal Point is the hub of the network.
The area in a design or layout that first catches the eyes. In effective design, the main message the sign seeks to convey will often be located at the focal point.
Area of any composition to which the eye focuses more frequently. Compare vanishing point. In a picture that uses perspective, the focal point may not necessarily be the vanishing point.
a point of convergence of light (or other radiation) or a point from which it diverges
a central point or locus of an infection in an organism; "the focus of infection"
a specific point that appears to dominate a given display
the location at which a mirror or a lens focuses rays parallel to the optic axis or from which the rays appear to diverge
A point where all rays of light meet at a common point of sharpness. When referring to a lens, this means the point at which the subject is in focus. In a photograph, this is the point to which the viewer's eyes are directed.
A weak square near the enemy king. This is targeted by the attacker, and the defender may find it difficult to protect. More than one focal point makes an attack stronger.
That distance from the focusing lens where the laser beam has the smallest diameter.
The point of interest or the object of your attention or the point at which a lens focuses a beam of light. This is usually directly behind a lens sheet.
The focal point of a lens is the point at which a parallel beam of light would be focused. Converging Lenses
The point at which a lens or mirror will focus parallel incident radiation.
The point at which the beams of light intersect and create a sharp picture of the image.
The point on your Jewelry that the observers eye is drawn to. In other words the focus of his/her vision. Most often the point closest to the earth.
An IBM Network management term; it consolidates the functions needed to manage centrally all parts of a network. It provides an end-to-end network view and receives information from entry points and service points. NetView is IBM's key implementation of the focal point.
The point at which light rays refracted by a lens meet; The focal point of a laser beam is the point of highest energy concentration.
Point on a page that the eye is drawn to.
The focal point is the position in 3D space that the camera will rotate around or zoom into in examine, orbit, turntable and zoom modes.
(1) The central or principal point of focus. (2) The optical center of a lens when it is focused on infinity.
The location on an imager where the lens focuses
The point in an optical path where beams of light converge to a point, creating a focused image of an object.
the point on a focused image where the rays of light intersect after reflecting from a single point of a subject
The point where the incident parallel rays, as bent by a lens, meet in focus.
A point on the optical axis of a lens at which rays from a distant object point meet.
The point at which the lens focuses the image. The imager is located at the focal point.
the point of a room that draws attention
In land-use and transit planning, an object such as a statue, fountain, architectural element or building to which the eye is drawn. A unique planting element or speciment tree also may create a focal point.
point of light on the optical axis where all rays of light from a given subject meet at a common point of sharp focus.
The element of a design where lines converge. The eye is naturally drawn to the focal point in an image.
