Depth denotes:
Length information:
- general length (physics)
- In the case of multi-dimensional objects, the term depth is often used for one of the length axes in order to distinguish them from one another; as a rule, it is the one that points away from the viewer at right angles to an actual or imaginary leading edge
- the depth of the property , as opposed to the width of the property for a two-dimensional, more or less horizontal surface.
- The dimensions of furniture or large technical devices are usually specified with width, height and depth (W × H × D). In this context, one speaks, for example, of the shelf and cabinet depth , which as a measure complements the visible front surface with a spatial axis for three-dimensional description.
Distance to the surface:
- the depth of a container or hollow vessel (e.g. cup, water basin); Depending on the type, measurements are taken against an upper edge or against a particular or the current filling level
- the depth of a hole in relation to the surface of a workpiece
- the depth of a borehole, based on the earth's surface in geology
- the depth of the sea at a certain point on the sea surface
- Diving depth (disambiguation)
- Depth of a wound in relation to the body surface
Physics:
- the distance from the viewer, see e.g. B. Depth graduation and depth impression (disambiguation)
- Depth of field
- Color depth (disambiguation)
Mathematics:
- the depth (commutative algebra) of a module or a ring; an invariant in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry
Humanities:
- Depth (literature) , derived from the distance to the surface abstractly for the question of the quality of a literary work: Is it going deep, or does the author remain (only) superficial?
- Profundity
- Depth of thought
