Can Geometrical Optics Queries Be Shared More Effectively Than in ZIP Files?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the sharing of geometrical optics queries, specifically questioning the effectiveness of using ZIP files for this purpose. An attachment containing a question, doubt, and solution was provided, but the format raised concerns. It is noted that the object distance is always positive for real objects, regardless of lens type, while negative image distances occur when an image acts as an object for a subsequent lens. The terms "in front" and "behind" are defined in relation to the first lens, clarifying the positioning of objects and images. The conversation emphasizes the need for more accessible methods of sharing optics queries beyond ZIP files.

Well, the object distance is always positive if it is a real object, either it is in front of a concave or convex surface. The object image can be negative only when an image serves as an object for a second lens or surface and falls behind it. "In front" and "behind" is determined by the first lens. Where the object is, that is the "front side".

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
