Hello Peter, Yes, I’d say you
do. I read that line too, and
thought it would be even better if it read: “If the eyes were
at water level, then, provided the moon were visible _at all_, its reflection would surely be,
too.” By the by, the eye
position at water level is the only place where the reflection _is_ the same as the original, only upside
down. That is, no perspective difference occurs – it cannot, because the
eye coincides with its own reflection. It may occur to some
readers on this list that many microwave, and some shortwave, radio propagation
problems should be solved using the same reasoning. Happy ray-tracing! Rudolf Van: Peter Tandy
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thus, provided the moon
itself was visible (and not obscured by houses) the reflection must also be
visible. Am I understanding it
correctly? |
