The concept of the gauge originated with pistols, and later shotguns. The gauge described the size of the barrel by the fraction of a pound of a round iron ball that just fits the barrel. For example, a 12 guage shotgun has a barrel that will just fit a round iron ball that is one twelfth of a pound. This measurement stemmed from cannon measurements, which measured the cannon by the size of the cannon ball it fired (such as a 6 pound cannon, or 20 pound cannon).
There are different gauges that describe thickness, including the American Wire Gauge that measures the thickness (diameter) of electrical wire, US Steel Wire Gauge for steel wire, Sheet Metal Gauge, etc.

Why do the focal length decrease as the thickness of the lens increase?
The angle of refraction increases, though it's a function of curvature rather than actual thickness.

Why does the oil pressure in a 73 nova decrease when you accelerate and increase when you let off the gas you have a gauge and a light both work not sure gauge is accurate?
It should do just the opposite. I would check that gauge.
100 gauge polythene thickness means how many thicness in mm?
ANSWERIn the case of polythene, gauge can be converted to thickness by dividing by four to get the thickness in micron or dividing by 4000 to get the thickness in mm. Here are some common examples:100 gauge = 25 micron = 0.025mm120 gauge = 30 micron = 0.03mm200 gauge = 50 micron = 0.05mm250 gauge = 62.5 micron = 0.0625mm400 gauge = 100 micron = 0.1mm
