Látóközpontja

Látóközpontja is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "center of vision" or "visual center." In the context of optics, it refers to the focal point or the optical center of a lens or optical system. This is the specific point through which light rays pass without undergoing refraction or deviation. For a simple lens, it is a point on the principal axis where parallel rays converge after passing through a convex lens or appear to diverge from after passing through a concave lens. Understanding the látóközpontja is crucial for calculating magnifications, image formation, and the overall performance of optical instruments like telescopes, microscopes, and cameras. It is a fundamental concept in geometrical optics and is used to determine where an object will be focused and how large the resulting image will be. The precise location of the látóközpontja depends on the shape and material of the lens.
