AI Thread Summary
When a torch's light moves into another light source, the interaction between the two light beams raises questions about their behavior and perception. The discussion highlights confusion around the phrasing and concepts presented, indicating that the original statement lacks clarity. Participants express difficulty in understanding the intended meaning, suggesting a need for clearer communication. There is speculation about whether the question pertains to the relative speeds of light sources and their implications in physics. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of precise language when discussing complex topics like light behavior.

what happens specifically?

Could you rephrase please? That doesn't make any sense to me.
 
Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go light for that? I think that when one really been far even as decided once the torch even go want, it is then that it has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

Perhaps you have a friend who could translate for you? The above is completely indecipherable.


(I wonder if, based on the title, what he's asking is: if light comes out of a flashlight and impinges on light coming out of another flashlight, aren't they moving at 2c wrt to each other?)

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...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

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...
