AI Thread Summary
The projector in a cinema theater can be positioned in various locations, including the top left corner, center, or top right corner of the wall. However, the optimal position depends on the alignment with the screen and viewer seating. Adjustments can be made if the projector's lens system allows for offset positioning while maintaining parallel alignment with the film and screen. Techniques similar to those used in large format cameras can help correct for perspective issues. Proper placement is crucial for achieving the best viewing experience.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking. There is obviously an optimum position for the projector in a movie theater with respect to the screen position and the positions of the movie viewer seats.

Can you please post more details for your question and maybe some sketches to explain the positions you are asking about?

The projector can be anywhere if the geometry of the lens system can be offset sideways, while still remaining parallel with both the film and the screen.

Large format cameras sometimes support the same technique to correct for perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle

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...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
