Least distance of distinct vision of the device in metres. A convex lens and a concave mirror have positive focal lengths, and hence their strength in Dioptres is also positive. If the lens is concave or the mirror is convex, the focal length, and hence the power in Dioptres, is negative. Least distance of distinct vision In optometry, the least distance of distinct vision (LDDV) or the reference seeing distance (RSD) is the closest someone with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can comfortably look at something. In other words, LDDV is the minimum comfortable distance between the naked human eye and a visible object. magnifying power
Anticrepuscular rays Anticrepuscular rays Anticrepuscular rays, or antisolar rays, are atmospheric optical phenomena similar to crepuscular rays, but appear opposite of the Sun in the sky. Anticrepuscular rays are nearly parallel, but appear to converge toward the antisolar point due to linear perspective. Anticrepuscular rays are most frequently visible around sunrise or sunset. Appearing to radiate from the Sun, crepuscular rays usually look much brighter than anticrepuscular rays. This is because the atmospheric light scattering making the crepuscular rays visible occurs at low angles to the horizon (see Mie theory). Although anticrepuscular rays appear to converge toward the antisolar point, the convergence
