Refraction, Lenses, Aberrations
... A lens is a piece of glass (plastic) with two refracting surfaces, which are either curved (e.g., a segment of a sphere) or plain. Lenses are used to form images by refraction in optical instruments (microscopes, telescopes, cameras, etc.) ...

Ray Tracing
... Each ray interacts at the center of the lens. This approximation is why the lens is described as “thin”. With a thick lens one would have to apply Snell’s law in order to determine how that ray bends through the glass. However, in this case that is not a problem since the lens is thin and the light ...

F-number
In optics, the f-number (sometimes called focal ratio, f-ratio, f-stop, or relative aperture) of an optical system is the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a dimensionless number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed, and an important concept in photography. The number is commonly notated using a hooked f, i.e. f/N, where N is the f-number.
