I What does "upright" mean in geometric optics?

AI Thread Summary
An "upright" image in geometric optics refers to an image that maintains the same orientation as the object, as opposed to an "inverted" image, which is flipped upside down. Additionally, "laterally inverted" describes an image that is reversed from left to right. These terms help categorize images formed by lenses and mirrors based on their orientation relative to the object. Understanding these concepts is essential for studying image formation in optics. Clear definitions of these adjectives enhance comprehension of geometric optics principles.

A quick Google will straighten that out for you.

Hint: the opposite of 'upright' is 'inverted'.

Also ‘laterally inverted’ is a good description in many circumstances. All three terms are probably easier to recognise than to describe.😉
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
I don't need cloth simulation. I need to simulate clothing meshes. Made of triangles and I need an answer that someone with High School math can understand. I am actually using the time it takes for someone to answer to create a model with less geometry than the one I have been using. I want clothing that can be removed on a model that will be animated. I don't need stretching or wrinkles on my meshes, I just need gravity. I have an idea of how I could do it, but I don't know how to apply...
