Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon

No object with a finite mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. This fact has an interesting consequence in the domain of extremely high gravitational fields.
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape velocity with the...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been developed.

Background:

Understanding light scattering by particles is crucial in atmospheric science and optical engineering.
Previous studies often focused on specific conditions, limiting general applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the effective extinction efficiency for light scattered by large transparent spheres.
To investigate the influence of experimental parameters like beam divergence and detector field of view on extinction efficiency.

Main Methods:

Theoretical analysis of light scattering by dielectric spheres.
Numerical simulations incorporating beam divergence and detector field of view.

Main Results:

An effective extinction efficiency of 0.88 was realized under specific experimental conditions.
The calculated extinction efficiency demonstrated low sensitivity to variations in light wavelength, particle size, and refractive index.

Conclusions:

The study identifies a consistent effective extinction efficiency for large transparent spheres under defined optical conditions.
The findings suggest that this extinction efficiency is a robust parameter, minimally affected by common physical variables.
