Pictures Definition and 172 Threads

Answer from the book: We need to draw two diagrams, one assuming the photo on p. 644 is right side up, and another assuming it is upside down. Figure 23–9 is drawn assuming the photo is upside down. In this case, the Sun blocked by the tree would be the direct view, and the full view of the Sun...

Here is one I found on Twitter: Please add others!

Hello, I would like to know where I can find detailed control panels pictures of nuclear plants. Not necessarily the complete control room but the main panels. I need to be able to read switches, alarms lights, etc... Have a nice day! Thanks

So I have a random question with all these talks of the pictures released from NASA by JWST. So these galaxies, stars, etc, are like 40 million light years away, so that light must've left these galaxies 40 million years ago, which means things have obviously changed. So are there any tests or...

A friend of mine send me these pictures showing three shadows during the day. The time of day was approx 11:45 and it was overcast. He asked me what was causing this effect. Basically you see three shadows. My hypothesis is that the overcast is diffusing the light causing scattering and the...

I love seeing other people's libraries (or bookshelves) because they give me inspiration to plan my dream library, and books ware what make a home feel like home. Here is my very humble "library" in my college dorm room. Please, share pictures of your personal libraries or other libraries that...

I recently saw some very funny memes about Star Wars (which I'll post below), so I thought about starting a thread about jokes about science fiction, e.g. SF movies. Please share funny jokes, pictures and memes about SF and their stories in this thread. And, yes, I know, I'm such a huge SF...

Hello, I am using a Raspberry Pi with a PIR motion sensor and a Pi Camera. The idea is that the camera should take a picture every time the PIR sensor detects motion. The system works but it does not respond, i.e. take a picture, as fast as I would like if I wave my hand in front of the PIR...

So there's this professor who insists that the Heisenberg picture is all the rage and much superior in most ways to the Schrodinger picture. He compares it to how you don't use the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation of classical mechanics as much as the Hamiltonian one. Alright, I can buy it. I...

When a photo of a nearly edge on galaxy, say Andromeda, is taken. Why are the stars on the far side of the galaxy so clear? The light from those stars took an additional 220,000 years to reach us. Those stars have moved quite a lot from their positions since the light from the foreground stars...

I've noticed that a lot of these pictures are like this. Is it something to do with the error in the machining of the lenses?

Hi, can you guys identify the people in this photo? I am specifically interested in the person in the front-middle with his left hand in the pocket. This is from Leo Szilard's Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Szilard

In my readings lately, I have come across the assertion that the Heisenberg picture corresponds to passive transformations while the Schrodinger picture corresponds to active transformations; however, such seems not to be the case. I want to know whether my thinking is correct or if I'm confused...

Hi. I'm a retired several-sciences guy, a STEM Ambassador encouraging kids to look at science, hopefully fostering interest. I'm also interested in microscopy. I/we are looking for ideas for small items which demonstrate interesting/educational things, for kids to look at through microscopes...

I was just wondering what the reaction was from people and the media at the time after hubble's telescope took it's famous images? If I am not mistaken hubble's images where one of a kind showing that there where a lot of galaxies and whatnot out there. Was it advertised on the news a long...

Hi everyone! ;) We are very excited to announce the introduction of TikZ pictures. MHB is the very first math site ever to allow members to post TikZ pictures! (Emo) To add for instance a plot, we can now use: \begin{tikzpicture} %preamble \usepackage{pgfplots} \begin{axis} \addplot...

Do any of you have pictures of space objects, planets, moons, galaxies that have not been enhanced?

I've been messing around with some circle theorems and found that you couldn't possibly take a picture of a full Earth from a single shot. Is this impossible? Is their some math to prove otherwise, I'm really stuck.

hi; When I study - if we want to connect impedance in the case of: - we connect the R4 and (R1+(R2||R3)) as parallels but when we want the get impedance of C and R of the right: - we connect that as series: Z(of C)+R .. why the different? please help!

Hi PF! I have been trying to put two tikZ pictures next to each other but I can't figure out how to do it. I've used the \begin{minipage} command, which worked well, but was unable to generate a caption. Any ideas?

How to draw the graph from the picture. I solved 50% my self like grade Xcut-off point but I do not understand the graph below

Homework Statement Consider a particle, with mass m, charge q, moving in a uniform e-field with magnitude E and direction X_1. The Hamiltonian is (where X, P, and X_1 are operators): The initial expectation of position and momentum are <X(0)> = 0 and <P(0)>=0 Calculate the expectation...

Here's a picture of the grey spot that's in my pictures. I can see it on the screen on the back of the camera when I'm taking the picture. I cleaned the lens, and it's definitely not on the outside. If it's something on the inside, how would I fix that? My camera has just been sitting on my...

I have looked in vain on the web for pictures of magnetic field lines for multiple linked current loops. I would be happy just to see a picture of the field lines for a simple Hopf link but somewhere there must be pictures for the Borromean rings and other more complex links - and also braids...

http://www.nasa.gov/press/2015/march/nasa-s-hubble-chandra-find-clues-that-may-help-identify-dark-matter/index.html The take away seems to be that some ideas about dark matter may have problems. The possibilities checklist of dark matter interactions has been shortened. There are some really...

Are there any artists / pro photographers here? I am putting some photos in a show next month. I've cut all the mattes, and printed the pictures. I have yet to put the mattes on the pix. Normally, when I matte a piece of art, I only need to apply a small amount of tape, like a square inch or...

These are some of the best physics jokes on the internet. Enjoy!

Hello, I would like to know which sotfware physicists (or other scientists) use to make nice pictures for presentations to students, scientists or general public. I would like to make good presentations without spending a day for drawing a simple image. For example if I want to explain Riemann...

Hi there: I am reading a book (Atom-Photon interaction by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Page 448) and the following things gave a big headache. (1) Is there a density equation in Schrodinger Picture. because I encounter one, like: ##i \hbar \frac{d \sigma}{dt}=[\hat{H}, \sigma]## and...

I've usually heard the many-worlds interpretation described in the Schroedinger picture, in which the wave function evolves unitarily. Does a Heisenberg picture exist for many-worlds, or is the Schroedinger picture more fundamental in that interpretation?

I was not sure exactly where to put this but it involves images so I thought it was no too inappropriate here. I was reading the Feynman Lectures Vol.1 and he says that Helium, although not solid at absolute zero normally, can be so in high pressures. I then googled this for images but none...

Hello. I am creating a text-based video game using python, and I was wondering how I could put pictures from my Mac into the game. I am using JGrasp if it helps to know.

I know a gentleman who wants to clear up his collection. 90% of these are handpicked, including the 150 lb amethyst in the last picture in post #3. Is there a market for this?

My girlfriend and I at the time took some photos at a know haunted spot back in 2008. Two pictures developed where you could see two obvious distinct ghost images in a rear view mirror and a backseat window. These photos were definitely not manipulated in any form. As years went it on and I...

Can someone post the most precise atom or molecule real pictures at present?

I don't know if there was talking about this or somebody already did this but do you think it would be possible to make software that shows you all possible pictures variations on your monitor/TV? What I mean is monitor works on RGB principles and is separated into tiny squares that gives RGB...

I have a question about time dependence in the different pictures of QM. In the Schrodinger Picture, I've read that the time dependence is in the state vector, but one can construct Hamiltonians and other operators that are time dependent in the Schrodinger Picture. For instance, one can...

Just a thread to post funny pictures you found on the net. I searched but didn't find a thread for this. Hopefully I'm not wrong.

When I was English class in either the 7th or 8th grade, my English teacher told the class that there was a famous artist who drew pictures on the backs of his checks. The famous artist drew pictures on the backs of his checks because he thought (correctly, according to my teacher) that people...

Suppose there are n pictures and n words. Each word matches with exactly one out of the n pictures. What is the probability function of having exactly y words match up correctly?

So here are a few things I do when I am not working or doing homework. Eat Kimchi stew:smile: Work on the truck. And wheeling with my buddies.

what creates the "star points" in telescope pictures of stars? it's a basic question. e.g. see this hi-rez Hubble Deep Space pic: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Hs-2004-07-a-full_jpgNR.jpg i count about three bright objects with pointy cross-like projections from...

I'm looking for large pictures. I want to print a wallpaper on a A0-paper (on a plotter) with the normal 300 DPI. I've used google to search for wallpapers 'greater than' but I end up with pictures that won't fit A0 with 300 DPI (they're in fact smaller). I'm thus looking for a website for...
