I have an image with uneven contrast. Now to correct the image, I need a dark frame to remove the noise inherent to the sensor or to the camera itself. How can use the dark frame into the image? I have been searching the net but most of them use photoshop or similar softwares. How can I apply it...

So I understand this is probably more contiguous with philosophy than with physics, and there is probably no exact answer to this, but I had a couple of interesting questions relating to planes of reference, keep in mind I am a high school student and possesses very little knowledge of...

I have a 1968 Mustang that I bought at auction from my grandfather's estate it is almost completely apart and I want to rebuild it for him has sadly he ran out of time, I have a reproduction manual from 1968 with frame dimensions in it and some of the dimensions car vertical to a datum line. I...

I know the Galileo invariance don't allow us to take rotational or accelerating frame reference but an shrinking frame reference wouldn't be neither of this. so would be allowed to take an shrinking frame reference?

I've heard that unlike Special Relativity, General Relativity claims that you can' say any reference frame is better than another frame, including frames in which Newton's Laws don't hold. I've seen debates about this specifically in the context of geo/helio-centrism. From what I understand...

Once I cross the event horizon of a BH, is it valid to say that I'm at rest and the singularity comes up to meet me?

I recognize the rate of change of a vector in an inertial frame S can be related to the rate of change of the vector in a rotating frame S0 by the equation below taken from my textbook, where Ω is the angular velocity vector. $$\Big(\frac{dQ}{dt}\Big)_{S_{0}}= \Big(\frac{dQ}{dt}\Big)_{S} +...

According to this author, http://www.math.uic.edu/undergraduate/mathclub/talks/Weeks_AMM2001.pdf, a locally Minkowski spacetime with a nontrivial global topology may have a preferred inertial frame, in the sense that hypersurfaces of constant time can only be defined using particular time...

Hello, What is the fastest connection method (i.e. type of cabling) to transfer images from a video camera to a computer, i.e. what type of connection gives the highest frame per minutes? Is a USB connection fast? If not, why not? Should I look at a camera that connects in a different way...

How (more accurately) Earth is a non inertial frame? A frame of reference(FOR) will be a non-inertial when a=0 ⇔ F =0 Suppose a book on a table is our object and Earth as a Frame of reference, generally we take accelaration of book w.r.t Earth as 0 but more accurately it is not 0(because...

Newtons first law of motion depends on frame of reference So what are some examples , which shows that in this frame of reference F = 0, but a is not equal to zero or vice versa.

The orange thing is a gear being turned by a motor, which is intended to move the frame the shaft is fixed to. I realize the applied torque is going to create support reactions, but I can't quite figure out how to calculate the needed material strength so that the frame won't shear. All helps...

A charge moving relative to some observer produces magnetic field in space around it. Now I want to ask that how does the magnetic field of the charge at any fixed point varies as the charge passes by. Or is the B field only dependent on current and not a single moving charge? If I introduce...

Velocity of light in uniform motion frame is the same.But does velocity of light change in acceleration frame? Does the Cagnac effect(the shift of diffraction pattern in rotation frame) result of this change of velocity in the acceleration frame?If velocity of light in acceleration still is c...

is there any thing which is at rest with every frame of reference. what if an object experiences this situation.

First let me be clear, I am not questioning GR or the detection of gravitational waves by LIGO, I am trying to improve my own understanding of GW to the point where I can offer a graphic illustration (web video) showing what they do as they pass us to help others understand them. I started this...

I have a particle that travels in the cartesian plane with the maximum velocity of A units along the x-axis and B units along the y-axis per unit of time. How do I go about deriving the maximum velocity of my particle in the rotated uv plane? (the maximum distance the particle can along the u...

Imagine that you are sending photons that are polarized at ##45^\circ##, towards a detector that you are facing (e.g. the detectors's input face is parallel to your device/computer screen right now). The detector's polarization axis is also oriented at ##45^\circ##, so all the photons are...

Homework Statement I don't understand, physically speaking, how do we get from the first equation to the second: how do we get the fact that velocity in body fixed frame equals to angular velocity in body fixed frame. Furthermore I dont' understand how we get the angular velocity in inertial...

Dear Forum, I am searching for a good explanation and worked example that shows how to convert a inelastic cross-section from the lab frame to the center-of-mass frame. I need to first convert the energy (x-axis) from the lab frame to the COM frame. In addition, I need to convert the...

I have a problem to understand the de Broglie wavelength. We know that also particles undergo scattering and interference at a double slit. The interference pattern is calculated by the use of the de Broglie wavelength which is defined as lambda = h / p ; p is the momentum of the particle. This...

why can't speed of light be relative to it's source?

First thanks everybody for discussion in previous thread https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/a-man-on-a-cart.870858/ This is a continuation of that topic. I will formulate another problem. I believe that the most suitable tool for this problem is the Lagrangian formalizm. But what do you...

trying to soak in this paper. https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0205035 The following statement is found early on: "The violation of Bell’s inequality proves that any realistic interpretation of quantum theory needs a preferred frame." Whether anyone agrees or disagrees I'd appreciate a sketch of...

Let x+ and x- be the light cone coordinates x + t and x - t. The coordinate x- = log x+. The equations dx- = dx-/x+ and x+ = x+ dx- are like ds = dQ/T and dE = p dV. d- = d- dx+ D- = d- + d- dx+ In mechanics we have L = T - V, where L = L dt. This is a complex differential form just like x+...

I'm trying to get my head around GR. As I understand it, any frame of reference is as valid as any other for modeling the universe. Therefore, it is valid to use a non-rotating Earth as a frame of reference, and try to model the movement that is seen from this frame. But if that is true, I...

Does this mean that the relativistic effects are visual?

In planetary motion, the reduced mass of a system \mu is used in order to study the motion of the planet m in the non-inertial frame of the star M. Using \mu the trajectory of m turns out to be a conic. But this is the trajectory of the planet m as seen from the star M, correct? I read that in...

I can understand that a free falling frame in a curved space with a non-zero Riemann tensor has a zero Ricci tensor but I have a doubt about the opposite; does an accelerating frame in a vacuum space have a non-zero Ricci or Riemann tensor? if so, where do components of energy momentum tensor...

Special relativity is one of the most tested theories in physics. A central postulated of SR is that the speed of light is the same for all observers in inertial reference frames, and this leads to time dilation and the other effects that have been tested with a high degree of precision. We...

Hi, so Newton said that gravity was like or equivalent to a force? When I learned about SR we were talking about the passing of time as defined by a photon bouncing between two parallel mirrors. So when we're sitting our two parallel mirrors in a gravitational field, even though I suppose...

And a cartesian axis system in physics? I thought about that and my answer is that a cartesian axis system is the same as a inertial frame of reference, is that true?

inertial frame is one in which isolated particle has constant velocity but is there actually any "isolated particle " ? how then can frame be defined as or not being inertial ? or is it that - for a system in which acceleration due to external forces is equal for all members , the frame of...
