The meteorological optical range is the length of path in the atmosphere required to reduce the luminous flux in a collimated beam from an incandescent lamp, at a colour temperature of 2700 K, to 5% of its original value, the luminous flux being evaluated by means of the photometric luminosity function of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). 3, record 1, English, - meteorological%20optical%20range

La portée optique météorologique ou POM, actuellement communiquée aux usagers aéronautiques, est la visibilité au sens météorologique. Elle caractérise l'atmosphère et est une mesure de sa transparence. Elle ne dépend pas de l'alternance jour/nuit et ne fait pas intervenir la détection de sources lumineuses. C'est une visibilité par contraste. Elle est mesurée par un diffusomètre ou estimée par un observateur à partir de la distance connue de repères non lumineux autour du lieu d'observation. 2, record 1, French, - port%C3%A9e%20optique%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique

Un catadioptre est composé de trois miroirs placés à angle droit dans les trois plans de l'espace [...]. Lorsque la lumière atteint l'un des miroirs, elle est renvoyée vers le deuxième, puis vers le troisième, puis vers l'émetteur. Grâce à la perpendicularité des miroirs, les angles de réflexion se compensent, de manière à envoyer, à la fin, le rayon parallèlement au rayon incident, avec un léger décalage, lié à la distance entre le point d'entrée du rayon sur le premier miroir et le point de convergence des miroirs (décalage le plus souvent négligeable). Sur un catadioptre de vélo, il s'agit d'une multitude de tout petits miroirs, pouvant être surmontés de lentilles, disposés les uns à côté des autres (cette disposition plutôt qu'un grand catadioptre unique ne change rien, à part l'encombrement). 4, record 3, French, - catadioptre

El galvanómetro de cuadro móvil consiste en una bobina rectangular suspendida por dos hilos finos en uno de los cuales va fijado un espejito. Dicho cuadro goza de libertad de rotación entre los polos de un imán permanente y un núcleo central de hierro dulce. Al pasar la corriente por la bobina, ésta tiende a situarse perpendicularmente al campo, pero la torsión del hilo se opone a este movimiento. De ahí que la rotación del cuadro dependa de la intensidad de la corriente. Para amplificar el movimiento de la bobina se dirige un finísimo haz luminoso sobre el espejo, el cual, lo refleja sobre una escala graduada que indica la intensidad de la corriente. 1, record 9, Spanish, - galvan%C3%B3metro%20de%20cuadro%20m%C3%B3vil
