Physicists in France have taken high-speed photographic images showing that a punctured soap film ripples for a moment before bursting into a fine mist of water droplets. The researchers attribute this strange behaviour to the same physics which makes a flag edge flap in the wind. ... Optics Balzers AG...

Optional Unit VI: Optics; B. Lenses ... (Only thin, single lenses are dealt with in Physics 20. Note as well that the terms concave and convex, as applied to lenses, can be misleading. A meniscus lens has both a concave and a convex surface, but the thickness at the centre compared with the edges determines if it behaves as a...
