We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOTION PICTURES 67 thinner at their centers along the axis than at their edges, in opposition to convergent lenses the characteristics of which are diametrically opposite as has been shown. Lens a is called biconcave because both of its faces are con cave, that is they are both part of hollow spheres. The radii of curvature of the two faces may be equal in length or they may be of different magnitude and it is then evident that by varying the radii of curvature the power of divergence of the lens may be controlled at will. Lens b is called a plano-concave lens, one of its faces being concave and its radius having any desired finite length while the other face is a plane and can, of course, be considered as a curved surface having a radius of infinite length. Lens c is called a divergent meniscus because of its similarity to the crescent shaped moon. Its faces are both curved sur faces and may have any desirable finite radius of curvature. The same notations used in connection with convergent lenses apply to divergent ones and the symbols and signs in the figure do not require any further explanations. FOCAL POINT OF LENSES The points to which converge the luminous rays emanated by a single object point after refraction through a convergent
