ARC stands for Accurate Radius Curvature. The lens is thicker at the optical center and thins out toward the edges of the lens. This is better because when light waves from the sun hit an aggressively curved standard sunglass lens, the light refracts causing distortion, which reduces optical clarity, causing distorted vision and/or headaches. Most ARC lenses overcome this potentially dangerous problem by tapering the thickness of the lens towards the outer edge, thus allowing light waves to be delivered to the eye with no refraction or distortion. This results in greater optical clarity.

Which lens filter grades are acceptable for use when performing arc welding procedures?
which lens filter grades are acceptable when arc welding
What is the difference between gas welding goggles and arc welding goggles?
If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).
Should one use a ligher or darker lens when inert gas arc welding?
I do not believe the gas itself will change the arc brightness much, if any at all, but if you need to change your amperage to weld quicker because of the gas i.e. more amps to weld overhead using Argon (because its heavier than air) then you would need a darker lens. its best to simply match your amps and shade. A shade 12 is fine for most arc unless you go over 300 amps.
What is the darkest lens used on sunglasses?
vuarnet PX5000 and julbo alti arc 4+ both of these lenses block 96% of visible light and block 100% of UV
What is the resolving power of a 25Cm telescope?
Resolving power is measured in arc seconds. The formula to find this is as follows: arc seconds (x) = 11.6/(D) 11.6 is part of the formula D- is the diameter of the telescope (which you have = 25cm) Therefore the resolving power should be: 11.6/25 = .46 arc seconds

What does ARC mean in ARC welding?
In arc welding the electrode (welding rod) is held just a little space away from the workpiece and electric current jumps from the electrode to the work piece carrying material from the rod with it. This material is deposited at the weld site mixed with molten metal from the workpiece. The jumping current is referred to as the arc. You can see it if you are wearing welding glasses with the proper dark lens. Looking at the arc without eye protection will often result in a splitting headache later and, if done recklessly and too long, permanent eye damage can result---in other words, blindness.
What is the name given to the lens in a human eye?
It is lens. The lens consists of the lens capsule, the lens epithelium, and the lens fibres.
Is a circle an arc?
an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.
Arc length equals the measure of the arc?
The arc length is the radius times the arc degree in radians
What is the area of an arc?
area of an arc =lenght of arc *radius/2
What is full form of ARC in arc welding?
The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.
