Problem figuring out the reflection of a pulse on a rope

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the reflection of a pulse on a rope with a fixed point. A user seeks resources for animations to clarify this concept. A helpful link to an animation demonstrating the reflection is provided, emphasizing its educational value. The animation, along with a description of Newton's third law, aids in grasping the underlying principles. Overall, the resources shared effectively enhance comprehension of pulse reflection on a rope.

I have problem figuring out the reflection of a pulse on a rope with a fixed point.
Do you know some websites to find animations about it?

an animation worth a thousand words :smile:

Maybe more :D

Thank you, both the animation and discription (Newton's third law) at the page were what I needed to understand it.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
