Hey everyone,

I found an AWSOME site that broadcasts science programs for free over the internet.

http://www.vega.org.uk/index.php"

If you go to Science Programmes > Vega Science Lectures > Richard Feynman you will find the lectures that he gave at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) in 1979.

The site has other sciences as well (biology, cosmology, engineering, etc.)

Hope you all enjoy!

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...
