I saw a real image of a quasar bursting out gamma radiation on a science channel program and I am having trouble finding the image, or any like it on the internet. All I can find are CG rendered things, and IR/UV images. The photo that I am referring to looked a bit like the Hubble deep field...

I'm looking for a way to add eps images with a transparent background to a pdf generated by texniccenter (Windows environment). Can this be done?

Homework Statement Two conducting spheres are concentric, the radius of the inner being a and the outer being b. One sphere is grounded & the other is at a potential V0. Find the charge on each when the grounded sphere is a) the outer, b) the inner. 2. The attempt at a solution Is this...

Hi everyone, first time poster, long time reader (only because you're all so clever and I feel my contribution wouldn't be all that helpful haha). Homework Statement A dielectric (homogeneous, isotropic, with relative permativity \epsilon_{r}) is located in the region x<0. An infinite line...

Hey everyone, So I'm wondering whether or not a virtual object can make a real image, essentially. Let's say a real object is passed through a diverging lens, and thus creates a virtual image. This image is then bounced off a concave mirror. Now the concave mirror, if given a real object...

I'm hoping that someone can answer a question that has been bothering me for sometime now and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. We've all seen the fantastic pictures of nebular like e.g. the helix nebular, since the nebular I believe is approx 700 light years across, and that Light...

A fortune-teller’s crystal ball is a sphere of diameter 200 mm, made of glass with refractive index 1.70. A candle flame of height 10 mm is placed 1.00 metre away from the surface of the ball. Calculate the position and size of the two images of the flame: (i) reflected in the ball’s...

I'm not sure which category of physics best suits light rays and what not so I just stuck this under general physics, many thanks to anyone who can help me with my problem! I want to project some words onto glass with a projector... What projector do I need? I was assuming something with...

If two mirrors are placed at such an angle so that when 360 degree is divided by that angle the result is a fraction.then if an object is placed between the two mirrors how many images of that object will be formed? Proof is needed.

I would like to start a thread where we can post artistic or computer generated images of planets, stars, etc. This is mainly for artistic merit and not neccesarily realism in the photos. If you want, you can also post real astronomy images. Be sure to not break any copyrights. If you are...

Homework Statement A point charge +q is initially at distance x from a conducting plane of infinite extent and held at zero potential. Find the work done in moving the charge to an infinite distance from the plane. Hence find the minimum energy an electron must have in order to escape from...

Okay, so I'm thinking about creating a website about astronomy. One thing I'd like to do is to include a lot of figures from journal articles. But I fear that including these diagrams will violate copyright. Are there certain journals that pretty much allow anyone to post figures without...

I don't understand what's meant by 'images can be caught or cannot be caught on a screen?'. Can we catch the pictures which are not live only?

Imagine a situation where an object is placed infinitely far away from a convex, converging lens such that the light rays that come from the object are parallel to the principal axis. The real image forms at the focal point. In this situation, the magnification is 0, so if a screen was placed at...

Could we realistically see ancient images of the Earth from reflected light? We know the speed of light and we know the distance of the Earth from the sun. Do we have the knowledge to predict the movements of light that we could take a reflection off the Earth that shines on a distant object...

May seem like a bizarre question but I was wondering what the maximum possible resolution of a scanned A4 image would be. A4 paper is 0.297m x 0.21m, average resolution of light is 200nm. So I get, (0.297m / 200x10^-9m) x (0.21m / 200x10^-9m) = 1.56 terapixels Is this about right...

All right, drop the lab coats and headgear, because it's time to get a bit fashionable! Show off your favourite or recently attained clothing, or simply torture us with your horrid sense of fashion! I've recently attained something of an affection for denim jackets, personally. These are two...

Here is the problem I've been trying to solve for a couple of weeks. I have taken 2 pictures of an object of an unknown size with a camera. The first picture of the object was 1162 pixels across. I moved 419.1 mm closer and took a second picture, which was 1429 pixels across. Can I calculate...

Would the resulting image by a scanning electron microscope be different if it scanned across the y-axis? SEMs have deflecting coils that move the electron beam from left to right (x-axis) rapidly while traversing down the y-axis to cover the entire specimen. Would the image you get after...

So, this is how Google obtains street-view images for its maps: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2010/05/28/technology/28google-inline1.html (I've been wondering.) Why bicycle, though? Wouldn't a motorcycle be faster?

I can't even claim to understand 'spin' as a property (even after reading that big thread about it :P) but I'm sure with the amount of discussion that generated, this could be worth talking about http://www.ohio.edu/research/communications/spin.cfm

Do they just add waves into demonstrate the probability wave? They could not be detecting the electron in more than one place. Is it because they make so many measurements to generate the image that the amplitudes you see are a collection of each measurement? A good example is the copper...

I've finished a lab with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy in an upper level physics undergrad course, and now I have about 50 ".ezd" files to analyze. They were produced with the Nanosurf easyScan microscope, which I'm told is quite common in very basic applications. I'm looking for some...
