Creating Daltonism Glasses: Is it Possible?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the feasibility of creating a glass coating or material that allows for crystal-clear black-and-white vision, reminiscent of 1930s films, potentially aiding those with color blindness. The idea involves a material that absorbs specific wavelengths of light while allowing white light to pass through, possibly utilizing phosphorescent properties. There is an emphasis on developing a simple, battery-free solution that enables dynamic visual experiences as the viewer moves their eyes. Suggestions for a "screen picture" version that captures light directly in front are also mentioned. The conversation seeks to understand the scientific possibilities behind such innovations.

Hmm... I don't know weither this is a physics question (optics, photons, etc.), or is it a chemistry question... probably both.

: Is it possible to to make some coating for glass or the glass material itself that would allow someone to see in crystal clear crisp-sharp black&white - when lenses on glasses are made using such matterials? (just for the feeling; - daltonism glasses). You would actually feel like you're in some movie from '30s (in 3D, though).

(maybe some material that doesn't actually pass light, but it blocks light - absorbs different wavelenghts of light (or even a version that does that only with infra-red) and then passes white light on the other side in the direction of the original light; maybe some phosphorous matterial or something; maybe even battery assisted, but imperative is to be quite simple and to be able to see differently when you move your eyes across the surface of the lense - not just a screen picture like on TV)

Is it possible at all?!
...And why?


...Or the version with above mentioned "screen picture" (so it takes light only directly in front of it). Any suggestion...

(the primar idea is to make matterial that works in such way - without batteries etc. - just the matterial itself (natural, analog))

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
