Please move to a better forum if available. We have two friends discussing their photography efforts. "you know that your photo of people with large one-inch square buttons on their coats will not look accurate," said Moe. "Why is that," asked Curly. Moe answered, "You have the model...

How do I reference a photo taken from the assignment question in Harvard style?

I discovered something really fun, that I would like to share. I bought a cheap ($30) digital photo album. It is cheap because it has no memory, just a USB port for a thumb drive. I also have more than 29 thousand pictures in my folders, some on the hard disk, some in the cloud. I even...

We've all seen these photos of the crosswalk (or other street lines) on the asphalt distorted when the driven tires of cars push back as they roll forward. (At least I'd like to think we've all seen them.) I used to have one I took myself a long time ago. But, for the life of me, I can't seem to...

I have the problem with checking solution in calculators. For example wolfram doesn't give result of this equation. Have you any idea what is going on? Maybe should I simplyfy something. The equation is placed in photo.

{Administrative Note: This was the last PF Photo Contest that I administered. It has been a great run since I started this contest more than 10 years ago on this forum. Thank you to everyone who had participated in it. It was fun (most of the time). Special thanks to long-time participants...

The attempt is in the photo

Should have , could have , would have. I hope I am not the only one who has had second thoughts on the photo that was posted in any particular photo contest. This for the 'You Look Rather Down'contest.That I should have posted.

Here is an interactive 360 degree panoramic photo of a 3D computer model I made of the RBMK-1000 nuclear reactor central hall. The refueling crane is a work-in-progress. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/A9BAJm

Details of this calculation from the photo?

I think that it would take less force to pump water based on the lever principle. But I'm not so sure! Here's a drawn photo.

I took this picture on 02/21/2010, and I saw a line that I called it celestial pole. But I am not sure if that is what I see in the picture I took. I looked up wiki and I found that picture that the celestial pole is on the other side of the line that I see on my picture. How do I explain it...

I took this photo, which is of the flashlight on another phone, and I was just hoping someone could explain why it looks the way it does to me. (The pink circles, the blue half halo etc.) Just in case the uploaded image doesn't load for you, here is a direct link to the image...

I was comparing online photo storage options. I mostly use Google photos, but Google account has only 15GB of free storage. Moreover, after Picasa web albums was discontinued, embedding photos has become a problem too. Can you recommend me sites where I can store unlimited number of photos...

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution The option (a) says that the 1st coin remains at its earlier position. Due to gravitational force, the 1st coin falls down, hence option (a) is wrong. I don’t understand the difference between option (B) and (C). In my opinion...

Hi Guys, This was my first attempt at trying to make a case and covering it. I made a few mistakes and learned a good bit about the process. I think I learned enough to do a good job on the next one. Education is never cheap...lol The amp is basically a AB763 with a few mods. The current...

These were taken this evening at my daughter's Taekwon Do school. Not the best quality photos, but interesting.

Homework Statement Problem #13 on the attached picture (I can't retype a bubble diagram) Homework Equations I honestly have no clue. I know I'm not supposed to say this because I'm supposed to read my textbook first, but this is not covered at all in my textbook, this is a unit my teacher...

I was reading the specs on a photo eye and it states its current consumption 65 mA at 24v 120 mA at 12v both situations end up with roughly 1.56 VA of power...how does it draw more current with less voltage applied. If V=IR, the only way i see it is the resistance of the system must lower...

In Understanding Quantum Mechanics, Ch.1, Sec. 5 Roland Omnes says: ".. hard x-rays can leave straight-line tracks in photographic emulsion and this is strongly reminiscent of a particle trajectory." How can we describe this in terms of the wavefunction / interaction / measurement paradigm? Is...

Hey everybody, I'm right now trying to solve a question I found in a German physics competition 2006 concerning the diameter of a thin camera lens. I'm not able to find a solution, since there is basically nothing given. Here the task (I underlined phrases which might be important): A ruler...

I'm reading the Wiki article below to say the invariant mass of photons in an expanding volume of space will decrease. I thought invariant mass of a photon was always zero and the energy of photon changed due to the expansion of space. So where did I go wrong? Quote from Wiki General...

Virgo is favorably located right now (for me)- my goal for the next month or two is to stitch together a bunch of image stacks to get the entire region. Here's one 'frame' from last night, showing M84, M86, The Eyes, NGC 4388, 4402, 4461, 4458, 4477, 4459... you get the idea.

hi guys Had to share this with you ... This is amazing, have never seen anything like this before in a lightning discharge ( nor has my mate who photo'ed it) My fellow storm chaser Michael, from NE NSW State of Australia took this photo a few days or so ago now a closeup Now tell me that...

Hi all. Please pardon the amateurish question! My hobby is constructing camera traps which I use to photograph wildlife, using small "point-and-shoot" compact cameras. Currently I am working on a project that involves removing the flash unit from the camera proper and installing it...

I was wondering if there is there any kind of program that identifies duplicate photos in large galleries saved on your computer? I've got several galleries that contain more than 1,000 photos and I'd like to delete any and all duplicates. It's extremely difficult to do this manually.

There are certain conclusions that can be explained by quantum physics about the photoelectric effect: 1) photoelectrons only emitted if frequency>threshold frequency and hence energy of photon> work function 2)Increasing intensity increases no. of photons (and thus photoelectrons provided f>f0...
