    Optics question. Given Diameter and object distance find image distance.

    An object is 9.79 cm from the surface of a reflective spherical Christmas-tree ornament 8.96 cm in diameter. What is the position of the image? Answer in units of cm I know that i need the radius of curvature to find the position of the image, but I'm not sure how to get that from the...

    Google Image search is amazingly accurate

    Google image search is the best place when searching for images on something. But I have always thought, "What if I have an image and I need to find out what it is about." Shazam works well for audio, but Google has finally done it with images. I noticed a week ago that you could drop images in...

    How Is Image Dithering Computed?

    After reading about how dithering works for created the sense of a larger range of colors from a small color palette, it makes sense how it works, but how in the world do computers figure out how to dither an image so that it looks correct to us? Is the fact that blue and red combined create...

    Light Refraction: Finding an Exact Value for a 2nd Image

    One image should be formed by rays that go directly through the bubble and another image is formed by reflected light that hits the bubble. n1 = 1 n2 = 1.5 R = -7.5 CM so = 5 cm If n1 = n2, then si would equal 15 cm as measured from the second vertex on the concave surface. However, they're...

    Real image from concave mirror

    "real" image from concave mirror Ok so in we are currently doing mirrors and reflections in physics and from what I learned there are 2 types of images: real and virtual. I know that a virtual image is what you see INSIDE the mirror; but what does a real image looks like? I can't find anything...

    Optics Question - How is light divided into a 2d image?

    The theory seems simple. Light strikes the film in a camera, or a CCD and the different regions of intensity are recorded. But what I can't get my head over, is how a different portion of the film strip or CCD *knows* which part of the image it is supposed to be representing. For example, if...
