AI Thread Summary
Dark spot and tiny hole filters significantly impact Fourier optics images by altering the frequency components of the light used in imaging. The tiny hole filter eliminates high-frequency light, resulting in a limited but clear image by focusing on low-frequency components. Conversely, the dark spot filter removes the concentrated beam, allowing only high-frequency diffracted and refracted beams, which leads to a less clear image. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these filtering processes theoretically, alongside practical experimentation. Overall, the filtering techniques directly influence image clarity and detail in Fourier optics.

I was assigned an experiment of Fouriers optics where I have to use different Filters. One of them was the dark spot and the tiny hole. As of my understanding, for tiny hole, we cut off all high-frequency light related to diffraction and refraction, thus using only the low freuency part of the initial image. The result would be a limited yet very clear image on the screen. While for the black spot we cut off the concentrated beam and project only the high frequency diffracted and refracted beams. Thus we get a rather unclear image? Thank you in advance

How about you run the experiment and then any problems or results you have can be discussed if needed?

I've already done the experiment, and everything is fine. However, I would like to be sure about the theoretical understanding of the filtering process.

I agree!

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...
