Jackson uses this kind of problem in his textbook but I don't understand it.

Hi Everyone,
This is a physics problem but also an everyday home one I'm trying to resolve. In our bathroom, we have two mirrors on opposite walls (parallel walls)... because of this, they reflect images of the person between them infinitely many times - it's actually quite a bit nauseating...
For a simple starter, I'm curious what the transparency of pane glass is.
Moreover, we have a domed observatory and one of the two shutters (lower) has a common window pane about 3' on a side. In fact, there are three elements of the shutter area; upper, lower, and a wind screen (below the...

I recently stumbled on the topic of gravitational lensing (GL) via an article in the Nov. 2001 issue of Sci Am magazine. I've since Googled the topic, and slightly enhanced my understanding of it. So far none of what I've read seems to interpret the resulting images. That is, they briefly...

I am using opera as my browser and have windows xp.
I can see text on Internet pages but no pictures on my page.
I tried to find Internet tools but I couldn't find it. What should I do.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Is there some resource on the net where I can find images of electron orbitals for dihydrogen (H2), helium (He), lithium (Li) and dilithium (Li2)? Alternatively if there is some software that can produce such images, that would be good too.

I've gotten into an amusing discussion with another individual on the topic of the apparent size of comets as seen in SOHO satellite images of Sungrazing or Sun-impacting comets. I won't go into the crackpot conspiracy theories I've heard, but will instead ask: why do these tiny comets appear so...

When an object is moved away from a plane mirror, its size decrease when seen in the mirror. But, when we draw image on paper for an object in different positions in a plane mirror, the size of the image doesn't seem to change. Why? Will the size change or not?
Hi,
I realize that this might be kind of a silly question, but I am in a physics class currently and I'm having the hardest time visualizing what exactly is happening when a 'real image' is formed on the same side as the object (as in the case of an object emitting light on the concave side of...
Homework Statement
When we look into a mirror, the image formed in virtual as it cannot be captured on a screen. However, If we shine a torchlight at an angle then the beam of light will reflect and form on a screen. But how are we so different from the torchlight's light? Since we simply...

Lens problem!
Hi guys,
When an object is placed in front of a convex lens ( not between Focus and optical centre ), the image formed on the other side should be inverted and real. My question is, with the mentioned placement of the object, will the image be laterally inverted? Further more...
Cylindrical lenses focus light rays onto a line instead of a point.
Is that means several images will be formed from a point object aftering passing through the lens?

We "see" distant objects as they were , sometimes, very, very, long time ago.
I assume these images are all in the fleeting / transient - for us - category.
What is it in their nature that makes them last - for us, and, potentially, other observers, to "see" them. In our world, all images...

Consider the classic image problem with a conducting plane and a point charge. After finding out the charge density on the plane we integrate to find out the total charge induced. It comes out to be "-q",where q is the charge outside-

On the subject of gravitational lensing there seems to be two rather different phenomena. The "arc" phenomena seems rather plausible to me, if light is affected by gravity which is natural then there should be able to get that kind of behaviour.

When we look at a mirror we see our image but the light that reaches our eyes also reflects off our bodies back to the mirror again and back to our eyes. Do we see multiple images of our self but somehow ignore all but the primary reflection?

Is it a collage of interacting nuerons and the cohesive accumulation of information? Or something else, don't tell me its dependent on quantum proporties?
Why is it that whenever the method of images is used to solve for the induced charge on a grounded conductor in the presence of a point charge, the total charge is just the same as the image charge?
