  2. Two Lines Oblique Down, Variation III - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Lines_Oblique_Down...

    The pendulum-inspired design of Two Lines Oblique Down, Variation III is typical of Rickey’s geometric, kinetic artwork. [2] Measuring by the greatest extension of the sculpture's "arms," its size is 31' x 42' x 8'. [3] It is constructed from at least five primary, stainless steel components which have been welded and bolted together to form ...

  3. Geometrical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_optics

    Geometrical optics. Geometrical optics, or ray optics, is a model of optics that describes light propagation in terms of rays. The ray in geometrical optics is an abstraction useful for approximating the paths along which light propagates under certain circumstances. The simplifying assumptions of geometrical optics include that light rays:

  4. Müller-Lyer illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Müller-Lyer_illusion

    Two sets of arrows that exhibit the Müller-Lyer optical illusion. The set on the bottom represents the classic Müller-Lyer stimulus, while on the top is its Brentano modification. All the shafts of the arrows are of the same physical length. The Müller-Lyer illusion is an optical illusion consisting of three stylized arrows. When viewers are ...

  5. Band head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_head

    The lines pile up on top of each other at the band head, and may not be viewed separately. They have become unresolvable. Double head. Two bands may overlap with the head of one on top of another band or close to each other. This may make a stepped appearance. The two band heads close to each other are called a double head. Headless band

  6. Moiré pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern

    Moiré pattern. A moiré pattern formed by two units of parallel lines, one unit rotated 5° clockwise relative to the other. The fine lines that make up the sky in this image create moiré patterns when shown at some resolutions for the same reason that photographs of televisions exhibit moiré patterns: the lines are not absolutely level ...

  7. List of optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optical_illusions

    The Hering illusion (1861): When two straight and parallel lines are presented in front of radial background (like the spokes of a bicycle), the lines appear as if they were bowed outwards. Hollow-Face illusion: The Hollow-Face illusion is an optical illusion in which the perception of a concave mask of a face appears as a normal convex face.

  8. Parallax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax

    Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight and is measured by the angle or half-angle of inclination between those two lines. [1] [2] Due to foreshortening, nearby objects show a larger parallax than farther objects, so parallax can be used to determine distances.

  9. Two-ray ground-reflection model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-ray_ground-reflection...

    The two-rays ground-reflection model is a multipath radio propagation model which predicts the path losses between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna when they are in line of sight (LOS). Generally, the two antenna each have different height. The received signal having two components, the LOS component and the reflection component ...
