…The laws of light propagation, reflection, and refraction are derived based on Fermat's principle. The integral of the refractive index n along the light path s is called the optical path length, or optical distance, which is equal to the product of the time it takes for light to travel that path and the speed of light in a vacuum. Therefore, Fermat's principle can be rephrased as follows: Light travels along the path that has the shortest optical path length, that is, *Some of the terminology that mentions "optical distance" is listed below.

…フェルマーの原理を基に光の直進,反射および屈折の法則が導出される。光の経路sに沿った屈折率nの積分を光路程,または光学距離optical distanceというが,これは,光がその経路を通過するのに要する時間と真空中の光速度との積に等しい。したがって,フェルマーの原理は,光は光路程が最小であるような経路を通る,すなわち,といい換えることができる。… ※「optical distance」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
