Reflection and Refraction

Source: Derek Wilson, Asantha Cooray, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, School of Physical Sciences, University of California, Irvine, CA Light travels at different speeds depending on the material through which it is propagating. When light travels from one material to another, it will either slow down or speed up. In order to conserve energy and momentum, the light must change the direction in which it propagates. This bending of light is known as refraction. Some fraction of the...

This method describes the steps to improve the quality and quantity of sequence data that can be obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) RNA samples. We describe the methodology to more accurately assess the quality of FFPE-RNA samples, prepare sequencing libraries, and analyze the data from FFPE-RNA samples.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Reflection of Waves

When a wave travels from one medium to another, it gets reflected at the boundary of the second medium. A common example of this is when a person yells at a distance from a cliff and hears the echo of their voice. The sound waves (longitudinal waves) traveling in the air are reflected from the bounding cliff. Similarly, flipping one end of a string whose other end is tied to a wall causes a pulse (transverse wave) to travel through the string, which gets reflected upon reaching the wall. In...

Nanopore sequencing is a novel technology that allows cost-effective sequencing in remote locations and resource-poor settings. Here, we present a protocol for sequencing of mRNAs from whole blood that is compatible with such conditions.
FAQs
Each reflection reverses orientation, meaning the figure’s handedness changes even though its distances and angles remain unchanged. After two reflections, orientation has been reversed twice and is therefore restored; after three, it is reversed again. This parity pattern helps distinguish a single reflection from a longer sequence when analyzing the final image.
Two successive reflections across intersecting lines produce a rotation centered at their intersection. The first reflection changes the figure relative to the first line, and the second changes that result relative to the other line. Thus, the intersection supplies a fixed center for the combined motion, which helps identify the final transformation without treating the steps independently.
When the reflecting lines are parallel, two successive reflections produce a translation rather than a rotation. The figure keeps its shape, distances, and angles, but its position shifts across the plane. Recognizing parallel lines therefore provides a direct way to classify the combined motion and predict that no intersection point will serve as a rotation center.
A single reflection reverses orientation and places the figure across one line, while a sequence combines several such changes. With two reflections, the overall motion can preserve orientation because the reversals occur twice. Depending on whether the lines intersect or remain parallel, the combined result is classified as a rotation or a translation.
Begin by identifying the reflecting lines or planes and the order in which they act. Reflect the figure across the first one, then use that image as the input for the next transformation. Finally, compare the initial and final positions and classify the composition according to the relationships among the reflecting lines or planes.
Sequences of reflections provide a way to study congruence because every step preserves distances and angles. They also clarify how rigid motions are structured, showing how combinations of simple transformations can produce rotations or translations. These ideas support the study of symmetry and tessellations, where repeated geometric relationships organize figures across the plane.
