Question

The distance between the focus and the optical center is called the ____.

  1. Optical distance
  2. Focal point
  3. Focal length
  4. Radius of curvature

hintHint:

The focal length of an optical system is the distance measure between focus and optical center.

The correct answer is: Focal length


    The distance between the focus and the optical center is the focal length.
    • The principal focus is the point where the parallel reflected or refracted rays meet.
    • The optical center is the central point of the lens.
    • Thus, the distance between the optical centerand the principal focus represents the focal length.
