biconvex lens
  عدسی ِ دوکوژ   
adasi-ye dokuž

Fr.: lentille biconvexe   

A → spherical lens with two convex faces. The radii of curvature for the two surfaces may or may not be the same.

bi-; → convex; → lens.

concavo-convex lens
  عدسی ِ کاو-کوژ   
adasi-ye kâv-kuž (#)

Fr.: lentille concavo-convexe   

A type of → convergent lens that is concave on one surface and convex on the opposite surface. Also called → meniscus lens. Meniscus lenses are used most often in conjunction with another lens to produce an optical system of a longer or shorter → focal length than the original lens.

concave; → convex; → lens.

convex
  کوژ   
kuž (#)

Fr.: convexe   

Having a surface that is curved or rounded outward.

From M.Fr. convexe, from L. convexus "vaulted, arched," p.p. of convehere "to bring together," from → com- "together" + vehere "to bring" (cf. Skt. vah- "to carry, lead," vahitra "vehicle," Av. vazaiti "to lead," Mid.Pers. waz-, wazidan "to carry away," Gk. oxos "chariot," PIE base *wegh- "to go, carry, drive").

Kuž "humped," Mid.Pers. kôf "hill, mountain; hump" (Mod.Pers. kuh, "mountain"), kôfik "humpbacked," O.Pers. kaufa-, Av. kaofa- "mountain."

convex lens
  عدسی ِ کوژ   
adasi-ye kuž (#)

Fr.: lentille convexe   

A lens that converges an incident beam of light to a focus.

convex; → lens.

convex mirror
  آینه‌ی ِ کاو   
Âyene-ye kâv (#)

Fr.: miroir convexe   

A → spherical mirror with a reflecting surface curved outward, that is toward the object.

convex; → mirror.

convexo-concave lens
  عدسی ِ کوژ-کاو   
adasi-ye kuž-kâv

Fr.: lentille convexo-concave   

A diverging lens having one surface convex and the opposite surface concave.

convex; → concave; → lens.

doubly convex
  دو-کوژ   
do-kuž

Fr.: double-convexe   

Describing a → lens which is → convex on both sides.

doubly; → convex.

plano-convex lens
  عدسی ِ تخت-کوژ   
adasi-ye taxt-kuž (#)

Fr.: lentille plano-convexe   

A → convergent lens that has one flat side and one convex side. Plano-convex lenses focus parallel rays of light to a positive point, thus forming → real images.

plano-; → convex; → lens.
