AI Thread Summary
Photons are created when atoms release energy, but there are various mechanisms through which this occurs, resulting in photons of different energy levels. Users are encouraged to research the topic further online to gain a deeper understanding. The discussion highlights the importance of self-education before asking questions. Participants express a mix of curiosity and frustration regarding the clarity of the information available. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for more thorough exploration of how photons are generated.

Yes ... but there are a number of ways this occurs and it gives rise to photons of different energy levels

have you actually googled this ? ... How is a Photon being created?

how about doing so, then come back with questions on anything your didn't understand
Provide the links to those places so we can see what you have been reading :smile: Dave

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...

Thread 'Pentaprism with magnification, which surface is curved?'

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...
