Difference between Ray (optics) and Tangent

Ray (optics) vs. Tangent

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. In geometry, the tangent line (or simply tangent) to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point.

Similarities between Ray (optics) and Tangent

Ray (optics) and Tangent have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Curve, Line (geometry), Normal (geometry), Perpendicular.

Curve

In mathematics, a curve (also called a curved line in older texts) is, generally speaking, an object similar to a line but that need not be straight.

Line (geometry)

The notion of line or straight line was introduced by ancient mathematicians to represent straight objects (i.e., having no curvature) with negligible width and depth.

Normal (geometry)

In geometry, a normal is an object such as a line or vector that is perpendicular to a given object.

Perpendicular

In elementary geometry, the property of being perpendicular (perpendicularity) is the relationship between two lines which meet at a right angle (90 degrees).
