Quantitative Relationships

 

Fig. 5: Newton's rings seen in two plano-convex lenses with their flat surfaces in contact. One surface is slightly convex, creating the rings. In white light, the rings are rainbow-colored, because the different wavelengths of each color interfere at different locations.

 

Rainbow-colored Newton's rings on an Agfacolor slide (slightly right of center on the houses and upper right on the mountains).

For illumination from above, with a dark center, the radius of the N^th bright ring is given by

rN=[λR(N−12)]1/2,{\displaystyle r_{N}=\left[\lambda R\left(N-{1 \over 2}\right)\right]^{1/2},}

where N is the bright-ring number, R is the radius of curvature of the glass lens the light is passing through, and λ is the wavelength of the light. The above formula is also applicable for dark rings for the ring pattern obtained by transmitted light.

 

Given the radial distance of a bright ring, r, and a radius of curvature of the lens, R, the air gap between the glass surfaces, t, is given to a good approximation by

 

t=r22R,{\displaystyle t={r^{2} \over 2R},}

 

where the effect of viewing the pattern at an angle oblique to the incident rays is ignored.

In a simpler form you could think of it as ot unlike the reflections of an oil slick on water.

Streaming shows are completely filmed for months once they start airing.  They may be able to do some editing once it starts showing if it is on a weekly release schedule, but that is all.

Thanks! Yeah, I just did a search and filming wrapped earlier this year. 

Just rewatched it on Netflix and, while I enjoyed it the first time around I enjoyed it even more on the 2nd viewing. The Morbius makeup definitely put me in mind of ASM but I felt his origin was much better done and made more sense as written in the film than in ASM 102 itself, which is a bit of a mess. For me the film is eminently watchable.

Again the episode was OK but the fun/glitz is not where it was. As far as Madisynn goes, have to wonder how far ahead they've filmed and if they are still writing with the awareness of the impact she's made.

 I think it is just utter udder disbelief that this is a MCU product.

Fixed that for ya!

Whiplash, Black Panther &
Nick Fury appearance
Fight Cover

no, jk, bottom line actually says Letter from Bob Gale

why  is that four lines on a three line label notation? akaSteve - you have the book in hand...what are the notations?

What are the notations on the right side of the label (3lines). Can't make them out. 

I will say it again. CGC is not what it used to be. They mucked up several of my books big time but THIS example is beyond the ken.

Ah, Cartman you have a giant antenna sticking out of your .

Sure you guys! WHATever!

Handbrake takes a bit to figure out but once you do it is amazing. I have about 50% of my DVDs on my media server. I use MakeMKV for Blu Rays and then convert them with Handbrake cause those MKVs are pretty big (think wav vs mp3). But at home I still like to use the physical disks for serious watching. Recently got the Universal Monsters complete Blu Ray collection. Quite stunning.

I ripped my entire DVD collection onto my laptop and take it everywhere

City on the Edge of Forever is one of my favorite episodes. Its a clip show but its remembered wrong.

Did you use Handbrake? (love that app)

I have a soft spot for early South Park

I agree. My favorite is still the first one with Cartman and the aliens. And who can resist Scuzzlebutt with his celery hand and a leg that's "nothing but Patrick Duffy"?!

Very nicely done! Respect!

I did not, I quoted you in direct response to you after my generalized post 

Anyways, yes, valid posts, and yes I realized you were speaking to Sky, which is why I didn't quote you, I just happened to be the next poster and I made a generalization that wasn't directed at anybody, but I did happen to post right after you did

On 9/17/2022 at 9:38 PM, The Meta said:

I'm sorry? Did I quote you?

Yes. you actually Did quote me

(edited to add) Looking up you actually quoted me twice within these same few minutes on the role model topic.

I made a generalized opinion

Many people mistake this, because they read my posts with a prejudice 

Not saying you do, again, generalizing

I wouldn't want to make a definitive statement on something I know nothing about

Not mistaking your post as prejudice. Just saying it had no relevance to the context of my post

 So the other lawyer looking good by being competent is not a very high bar.

So we must all remember this reasoning and use it against you every time you try to make a point that is not a very high bar. I didn't realize we were setting high bar standards discussing 1) a tv show and 2) a tv show based on comic book characters.

Good role models come from real life, not tv

Well the negative role model was brought up by Shar here a bit ago. Had you been paying attention you would have, as I did, remember this and understood I was reffing this. ::sigh:

Unfortunately another episode where I cringed. Her Lawyer was much more likeable than She Hulk was...and she gave good advice.

Hi Shar! What I don't get is you cringed but a woman lawyer in this ep was much more likable and gave good advice? Can't we find good role models even in secondary characters?

But that is not how they are handling these shows. These are the Phase 5 movie characters. 

When Phase 5 is released we can better get a feel.

But there is an inherent issue when there are drastic tonal differences in what is being presented as a unified universe.  Yes, real life has those differences, but in media similar tone helps to unify. When you have characters that have not met and not interacted, but are supposed to be part of the same universe helps the audience associate them. It is something they are going to need to deal with, if a now comedic character like She-Hulk is now tasted with something serious.  Will the character have the weight (in the audience's eyes) to take on scenes like that in the future. 

I agree, but what I am saying is it should not BE a unified universe. Which is why I said "They need not be mutually inclusive. In fact it would probably be disjointed/distracting if they tried to incorporate aspects of one into the other." Everything need not be canon. Consider it an expanded "What If...?" concept.
