Conversion of f/# and NA

With difinitions and collection angle.

Physical Sciences index
Optics index

The f-number (f/#) and numerical aperture (NA) are calculated as defined. This calc converts between them, and also gives the angle (α) of collection for the lens. The f-number is defined in air, but for the NA, refractive index is taken into account if necessary.

Fill in either the f/# or the NA. The calc will provide the conversion as well as give the angle α.
If you fill in both inputs, then both will be converted.
