Wide Angle - Having a short Focal length and hence having a field covering a wide angle.
Telephoto - A lens with a longer focal length than standard, giving a narrow field of view and a magnified image.
In photography, angle of view describes the angular extent of a given scene that is imaged by a camera. It is how much angle is in a frame. For example a 180 degree camera angle will show everything from the sides in front as if it were a straight line it would show everything infront of that line. It will capture the whole image. They sometimes call a wide-angle lens a fisheye lens because it gives the photo a weird perception to the photograph.
Zoom - It consists of two distinct lens systems, the zoom system and the focusing elements. The key element of the zoom system is a concave lens which disperses the light path, and which can be moved relative to a convex lens behind it which gathers it in again.
