Edge waste stands for:
- the reduction of a certain size towards the edge of the area under consideration, e.g. the reduction in the particle density of a particle beam towards the edge of the beam or the attenuation of an electric field at the edge of a capture reflector or an antenna, etc.,
- the natural drop in edge light , i.e. that the image brightness decreases when imaging a uniformly bright motif through a lens compared to the brightness in the center of the image, see Cos4 law
