Can some one Fully explain reflection for me, because i am reading my

AI Thread Summary
Reflection in wave theory involves the bouncing back of waves when they encounter a surface, as explained by Huygens' principle. Wavelets, as a second generation of waves, emerge from the primary wave front and are essential in understanding complex wave behaviors. The discussion highlights the relationship between wavelets and the reflection of plane waves on plane surfaces. Clarification is sought on how wavelets relate to the broader concept of wave reflection. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the principles of wave behavior in various contexts.

Can some one Fully explain reflection for me, because i am reading my book and i read about wavelets and I DONT UNDERSTAND THAT, so can some one explain it all PLEASE

Waves or wavelets? Which book?
 


wavelets with respect to reflection, i read it from my notebook(my teacher's notes)
 


Best... Wavelets are the second generation of waves coming from the first wave front(primary wave front)... This is according to Huygens wave theory. I think this is the reflection of a plane wave by a plane surface..
 
Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'
Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...
I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
