The apex angle is the angle in a cone that the apex, or point, of the cone takes. This is measured from two opposite sides of the cone, which is found by drawing a line from the apex to the center of the circular base, then drawing a plane through this line and using the lines of the plane's intersection of the cone to measure the angle.

DevinThe apical angle of a cone is the angle formed at the apex (or tip) between the two sloping sides of the cone. It is also known as the vertex angle. The value of the apical angle determines the shape of the cone - a smaller apical angle will result in a more acute cone, while a larger apical angle will produce a more obtuse cone.

Does the condenser concentrate light onto the specimen?
Yes, the condenser in a microscope helps to focus and concentrate light onto the specimen by reducing the light cone angle. This focused light enhances the resolution and contrast of the image.
Why are all mountains cone shaped?
not all mountains are cone shaped only some sorts are.
Which eccentricities represent most elongated ellispe?
The elongation of the ellipse increases as the eccentricity increases from 0 to 1. For eccentricity zero it's a circle, and with eccentricity 1 it's a parabola. They are all a class of curve called a conic section. If you can find a torch (flashlight) that produces a conical beam, shine it directly at the wall and you get a circle. Shine it at an inclined angle and you get an ellipse. If the angle is increased so that one side of the cone is parallel to the wall, you see a parabola on the wall. Any more of an angle and you get the 4th conic section, a hyperbola.
What is a cone shaped tornado?
A cone-shaped tornado is simple a tornado whose funnel is cone-shaped. Tornado funnels may also appear rope-like, column-like, or appear wispy. The shape and size of a tornado do not necessarily indicate how strong the tornado is.
What is a cone-less crater?
You are probably going for the word caldera.
