Term of the moment...
equivalent air path - When a block of glass (prism, window, filter, etc.) is placed into a converging light bundle, it increases the physical distance to the point of focus. The equivalent air path for that block of glass is equal to its thickness divided by its index of refraction.

See also optical distance.
