pseudo-rayn.

Brit.

/ˈs(j)uːdə(ʊ)reɪ/, U.S.

/ˈsudoʊˌreɪ/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pseudo- comb. form, ray n.⁵

Etymology: < pseudo- comb. form + ray n.⁵

†1. Geometry. A geodesic in a non-Euclidean space or a space of more than three dimensions analogous to a ray or straight line in two- or three-dimensional Euclidean space. Obsolete. rare.Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.

ΚΠ

1890 Cent. Dict. Pseudo-ray, a straight line or ray in non-Euclidean geometry.

2. Optics. A ray with abnormal properties that arises in the course of certain calculations; spec. one that does not obey Snell's law of refraction.

ΚΠ

1963 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 276 371 (caption) For X on the concave (dark) side ZY₀X gives a pseudo ray corresponding to the travel time of a diffused pulse.

1985 K. G. Budden Propagation Radio Waves xiv. 422 These rays cannot obey Snell's law..because n is complex. They will therefore be called ‘pseudo rays’.

1998 Optics & Lasers Engin. 29 325 We justify the expediency of the employment of pseudo-rays in the course of designing optical systems including radially-gradient and diffractive lenses.
