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 'Pentaprism with magnification, which surface is curved?'

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...
