Difference between Cardinal point (optics) and Focus (optics)

Cardinal point (optics) vs. Focus (optics)

In Gaussian optics, the cardinal points consist of three pairs of points located on the optical axis of a rotationally symmetric, focal, optical system. In geometrical optics, a focus, also called an image point, is the point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge.

Similarities between Cardinal point (optics) and Focus (optics)

Cardinal point (optics) and Focus (optics) have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Focal length, Geometrical optics, Ray (optics).

Focal length

The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

Ray (optics)

In optics a ray is an idealized model of light, obtained by choosing a line that is perpendicular to the wavefronts of the actual light, and that points in the direction of energy flow.
