Log On Screen Saver - Enable or Disable

A: Screen Saver Window 7 Logon Screen Slideshow

Hello ZMan, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You will not be able to have a slideshow with the logon screen saver. As in the tutorial, it can only be a blank black screen if enabled. Anything else, and you get that message in the NOTE box at the top of the tutorial.

Sorry,
Shawn

We recently reformatted my Mom's computer and cut down a lot of the fluff in Windows and all the other programs so it can actually run at a usable speed. But now, she doesn't have access to the slideshow screensaver option (select a folder and the screensaver is a slideshow of all the pictures in the folder).

Is there a way to recover this? In "Display Properties-Screen Saver" - it doesn't come up at all.

If not, what are some good, free, and relatively easy to use programs that aren't horribly bulky or full of crap to use for this? I mean, ideally it'd be the same thing as she used to do through Windows -- select a folder and be done with it, but I'm willing to try some other stuff.

Hi,
Make sure there are no shortcuts in the folder that you are using to store your pictures.

I have about 1,500 pictures that I want to use for my screen saver's slideshow. I want them to be displayed for about 2-3 seconds each.

The problem is that Windows XP allows me to set the slider at 6 seconds minimum.

Is it possible to get around this?

Thanks!

I'm running Vista Enterprise, fully patched. I have a 128MB video card and 2GB of RAM. When I try to use the screen saver "photos" the screen saver will start, but the photos will flash constantly black-photo-black-etc. When I preview the slide show, this does not happen. I've moved around the start time of the screen saver, to make sure that nothing else starts up at the same time.

Why is this happening???

I have set up my Win 7 Pro 64-bit screen saver to bring up the password logon screen upon activation of the mouse/keyboard/whatever.

Late last week, whenever I moved the mouse or clicked the keyboard, the screensaver would go directly to the desktop, bypassing the logon screen. I went to the screensaver utility and unchecked and rechecked the 'On resume, display the logon screen' box, selecting 'Apply and OK' each time.

This would work for maybe two or three times and then go back to returning to the desktop.

I've run MalwareBytes, IOBit, and Norton and all come up virus/rootkit free.

Any ideas?

A:Screen Saver to password logon screen failing

There are a few seconds of "grace" time, meaning when the screensaver launches you have a few seconds to "wake it" and go back to your desktop without locking it.

I guess I can assume you're not talking about that, right?

i have windows xp professional at work. we have multiple computers/monitors that are not in use at various times of the day. i am looking to change the logon screen saver(so no one has to actually be logged-on) on those computers/monitors to a powerpoint presentation(or something similar). i also need them to pull from a common drive/file, so it can be changed daily in 1 place(vs going to every computer and updating them individually). i have already played around with this, going through the registry and changing the screensaver(hkey users\default\control panel\desktop scrnsave.exe, edit string box, value data box). i was successful in changing the screensaver to the standard ones available, but cannot figure out how to change to pull from a common drive. is this possible? i am willing to buy software to accomplish this. thanks to all for any help! dan

I have a fingerprint readers installed on my desktop machine and my laptop. On my laptop, anytime it goes to sleep after being idle I have to use my fingerprint to wake it. This is not the case with the desktop. I would like to make it so. I thought the option for secure logon/wake was in the display/sceen saver settings, but I can't seem to find it.

A:Security logon after screen saver time out/sleep.

OThe only setting I know of is the checkmark next to the delay timer that says "On resume, display logon screen" (or words to that effect - the exact wording varies slightly depending on your settings). Checking this causes Windows to ask for password - presumably the fingerprint reader in your case.
Edit: The screensaver delay timer, sorry

a friend told me how to set up my screensaver so that it scrolls thru all my pictures in "my pictures" folder. I've done so, but there's quite a delay between pictures, it doesn't seem like it's showing pictures from the whole folder, sometimes the pictures are very small off to one corner, and in-between pictures the screen is blank for a bit and usually has a symbol on it such as a musical note, "exit", a figure running, etc. My friend seems to have hers set up the same way, but it doesn't have these problems. It just scrolls thru her pictures, one after the other, with the pictures taking up the whole screen.

I have my screensaver set for ten minutes and have my monitor set to go blank at 20. That is what yours is doing. If you want to change the time before it goes blank check in your Control Panel under Power Options. You should not leave your screen on all the time, there is no reason. Let it go blank after about 20 minutes.

This is a strange little problem that's really bugging me. Just recently my computer started to hang at the logon screen. Whenever I click on my account, Window's is telling me "loading your settings" as usual. Now the weird part is when it takes a bit longer then usual to load my account. Then when it proceeds to the desktop, there's nothing there!!! I can see my wallpaper but the taskbar and all my icon's are missing. I tried Ctrl+Alt+Del but the task manager didn't pop up either. I then manually restarted my computer and click on my account again. Now my account loads fine and I can see all my icon's and the taskbar. How in the world did it start correctly this time?! Mind you that this problem doesn't happen all the time but if I shut down my computer and turn it back on, it usually happens. Would it be perhaps that an application is trying to run at startup? Perhaps a virus of some sort?

Screensaver is enabled and so is 'Display welcome screen when coming back from screensaver'.

This works most of the time, however on a regular basis the screensaver will resume to the following screen and just stay there forever.

The only thing to do is to press the power button, at which point a popup alerts that a user is logged in, do you still want to shut down.

Thanks,

When I log on to Windows, the Ctrl-Alt-Delete screen does not have a blue background and the title bar is black. Is there a way to make it back to the default Ctrl-Alt-Delete screen?

A:Window XP Pro Ctrl-Alt-Delete Logon Screen

Not too sure what will cause that, but perhaps if you were to disable and then re-enable it, it might come back to normal.

Go to Start > Run... and type in "control userpasswords2" without the quotes. Click on the Advanced tab, then uncheck the box "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete".

Restart, log in as normal, then follow these steps again to re-enable it. Let us know how it goes.

There is a program in the Windows system files that you can put on the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen. You can then click this Icon and manually start the Screen Saver.

Hello all-
Purchased a Dell desktop with Win 8 on it through an employee purchase program. Also purchased MS Office and Photoshop Elements. When I received the computer it had no boot disc and none of the other add on software. Was instructed to call their support number that came with the unit and everything was installed via the internet except the OS and some other programs. So I have no boot disc.

OK, so I did an update to my McAfee software and I rebooted and logged on and now get the doomed black screen of death. Have a cursor. Can get to boot options (F12) or task manager but that's it. HELP please.

Thanks to all who can assist me.

Hi,
I have a Dell 1750 Inspiron laptop that I use "as a desktop" as every piece of hardware is connected to it.
It runs with Windows 7 Home Edition. It has a 4gb memory and a 450gb hard drive which is less than half used.

I have the screen saver set to Photos and usually have a cut-in time of 1 hour idle.

The screen saver cuts in exactly when it should and scrolls through my photos for as long as the laptop is left idle.

However, as soon as I touch the mouse/keyboard, instead of reverting to the "normal" screen the photos disappear, the blank screen fades for a few seconds and then a message appears in a box, saying that the Photos Screen Saver is not responding, and gives the options of either close the program or wait for the programme to respond. Waiting doesn't seem to work so I have to click on close the programme and then cancel the statement that Windows will try to find a solution, because it doesn't!

I have tried to vary the time before the screen saver kicks in, anything from 1 minute to several hours but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

A:Photo Screen Saver wont revert back to live screen

Have you checked the timing for when the HDD turns off or Sleep or Hibernation kicks in [I disable both of those and lengthen the time on the HDD to several hours], Control Panel, Power Options?

The reason I mentioned the HDD is the symptoms you mentioned seem to apply. The screen saver could be in memory and not affected by the HDD until it's asked for something.

Tried to set new power options , was able to get SLEEP to show up in "Start" as it was not there before, but once click , the display DID turn off, but wouldn’t turn back on with mouse movement keyboard presses, had to do a hard reboot. Win 10 started without issue and the SLEEP mode was no longer aviable via the power "start" menu.
Anyone have a clue how to get all of these working. Really would like my display to turn off after 5 mins , and the Screen saver to work , the Lockscreen I'm not fussed about

Hibernation in it self saves everything thats in RAM at the time the system is put into that mode. It should not lock the PC as that wasn't the state it was in before it hibernated. perhaps lock the PC before you push the hibernate button!

I am having a very wierd issue with vista's screen saver. So basically when I leave the comp idle it goes into screen saver then turns off the monitor after 15 mins. Sometimes, more often than not, I come back and move the mouse and hit a few keys on the keyboard and nothing. The monitor wont come out of standby I try turning it off and back on, and nothing. I have the latest drivers for everything in my system and I checked the power management settings and they both are able to wake the computer up. I have a G15 keyboard and I keep the leds on and when this happens the leds are off and the lazer for the mouse is off too. Any suggestions as to what my problem is would be fantastic!

I have a very strange problem, I'm stumped and would appreciate any help.
On my new HP6910 laptop, when my XP Pro SP3 (system default XP) Screen Saver comes on, the screen has a partial heavily corrupted copy of the bottom taskbar at the top of the screen (!) and when I ctrl-alt-delete and enter my password the taskbar at the bottom is missing all of its text but otherwise looks reasonable. The Oulook, Word, and other started tasks in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen have their icons, just no text, even if there is a group of them and you hover the mouse over the group and they expand. Most of them still work, but Windows Desktop Search (WDS) doesn't work and I have to close them and restart them. This seemed to start a few days after I installed WDS, added a DVI monitor to the docking station and the same day I installed Activesync 4.5. I've reinstalled WDS and removed my wallpaper but this didn't help, I'm about to reinstall Activesync but it takes a few hours to sync for the first time so I thought I would see if anybody had any other ideas before doing this.
All help is greatly appreciated!

This never happened when I was still using the stock 640GB HDD that the laptop came with. So maybe I'm thinking it's because of my SSD having problems?

OK here is my problem.
I have a (my kid?s) HP Pavilion DV6-7002ax (aka dv6z-7000 (AMD-A10-4600M) using Win 7 (64) Home Premium and it has lately (last few weeks) developed a weird ?blue screen with active cursor? hanging habit.

After you log-on and the welcome screen pops up with the spinning circle and then before the desktop displays it switched to displaying a pale blue screen, with active mouse cursor.
Up to that ?blue screen? point, after logging on, the ?boot? is slow but normal, based upon my experience with this HP Pavilion.

This blue screen delay/hanging lasts around 3 ? 5 minutes and then the desktop loads and all is well.
I have searched the web and found many references to black and blue screens with active cursor related to HP Laptops but I have not found a real solution that has fixed my problem. Apart from just wait and wonder!

There is a hotfix for this issue, with the issue being so wide spread one would think Microsoft would put it in an update. The hotfix is called Windows6.1-KB2578159, make sure to download the 64 bit version from Microsoft's site. This will hopefully fix your issue. At the hospital I work at we have had this issue a lot and just now found this hotfix, so I can't say for sure if it will fix your issue. Also make sure you have all the Windows updates installed.

Any idea why and how I can get the boot screen back ??

---Wow this is frustrating, I just got done fixing two other computers- one was helping someone else fix their computer, because they were seeking someone with basic expertise, and here I am seeking someone with higher knowledge to help me out! thanks in advance to all who contribute!--- HP Media Center M8330FWindows Vista 32 bit4GB RAM, NVIDIA graphics card, and plenty of HD spaceF9 hardware diagnastics: A-OK!Suddenly this computer decided to malfunction, without installing anything new, or updates prior to its "crashing." I'm pretty wary to spyware and virus of the like, so I am careful to what is installed and opened on this computer.

A:Windows Vista black screen, no bootup logon screen

It may be that someone didn't turn off the PC rather that it experienced a damaging event and shut down.Suggest you check the RAM - remove and reseat and try rebooting. If not successful your mother board may be damaged - nasty thought.There is also this site which may be relevant.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831515If you can get your PC going suggest you check Event Viewer. Then restore files from the recycle bin and then use SHIFT/DELETE to get rid of them, delete a small file and see if emptying the recycle bin works OKPaul

Hi people, i've just registered to this forum to ask you about this, Since i've made a registry defrag with TuneUp Utilities (which probably has gone wrong), when i reset the computer, and I logon to my user, it shows a black screen, then back at the logon screen. If I do it again, the user doesn't show up anymore!
It happened three times already, i had to make new users, and i'm sick of it. Any ideas of what could it be?

A:Black screen after login for some seconds, then back at logon screen!

Welcome!

Yet another case of registry defraggers causing harm. In the future, you know now to stay far away from them.

I suggest a system restore to get to a point before TuneUp utilities. If that doesn't work, it will be time for a repair install.

Good luck!

A BSoD issue...

PIII Intel 82845 motherboard PC with Win XP SP2.
I had previously installed Vista Pack (thus replacing the Logon UI interface, other start menu etc) However that was removed half a yr back. It didn't quite uninstall Logon Ui. However, that did not pose any problem, as the XP without traces of Vista Pack continue to Boot up (although Logon screen splashed Vista type Logon Ui)..

That was to prepare you for history of this XP installation.

then, few days back, I used a exhaustive program called TuneUp utilities for XP 2008 edition. Somehow, I got hooked into changing Display setting etc. No probs. However, on few tries of changes, I happened to remember I clicked on the Configuration option of , 'Switch to Default Windows XP Logon UI' or something that prompted that TuneUp wants to bypass the VistaLOGON Ui.

After that setup change, the XP goes to boot process. On appearance of Logon screen, which somehow, it still props up old Vista Ui logon, a BOSD appears. STO P error. "Your system has been shutdown to prevent damage to registry."

I tried all options in Safe Mode, F8 button. I also used the "Don't shutdown on bluescreen option" That's how I managed to note down the Registry thing.

It also prompts me to disable 'Shadowing' option of RAM in BIOS. Although I doubt, cause the XP was working fine without any bios change.

Can it be run from DOS bootup without HIMEM access. Basic DOS? Or is it recommended to boot up from XP bootable CD and run expand .exe to unpack LogonUI.ex_ or just copying internet dowloaded LogonUI.exe for SP2?

How do not have to go to the log off screen and just continue with my screen/window that I was on before the screen saver kicked in.

Hi, first post here by a rather happy Lenovo Yoga 13 + Windows 8 user.

As the topic says, is it possible to have the lockscreen turn on automatically after a few minutes?

As it is now I can only get to the lock screen after waking up the computer from the screen saver. I would like to have it configured so that the traditional screen saver is bypassed and it goes straight to the lock screen and stays there forever until I swipe it up.

I think the lockscreen is a very beautiful feature and it's great to see all these small notifications. It would be wonderful to just be able to glance at my computer and seeing these notifications without actually having to touch it.

I feel it's kind of useless to only see the lock screen while you're actually logging in, because then you'll see your notifications anyway on your start screen.

A:Can I use the lock screen as a screen saver?

The easiest way is to right click your account icon on top right of Start Screen and Lock it.

Hi,

I found out that Update 1 (KB2919355) causes logon screen and lock screen issue.

Custom background for both screens are not displayed, instead of custom background there is a solid black background.

Uninstalling this update rolls back this issue and both screens are displayed correctly. Confirmed on Win 8.1 Pro x64.

I'm gonna report it to Microsoft.

I have tried to reboot in Safe Mode and 'Last Known Working' mode but the same blue screen appears.

As I dont have a XP Home install disk (only boot disk supplied with laptop), I could not repair my registry so I have installed a parallel version of Windows XP Pro that came with another PC. I can access the hard disc so I will be able to back up most of my files BUT I cannot access the Documents and Settings of my user from the original OS because I selected 'Make this Folder Private' when I made the account.

Does anyone know of a way to disable the 'Make This Folder Private' option on an account that is on a parallel version of XP?

My PC was working fine before today, until I used Ultra UXtheme patcher for Win8 x64 and then applied a custom VS for Win8.
After a restart, Windows Explorer was not launching, so I opened task manager and did a sfc /scannow. After a reboot, I get to the Windows 8 boot menu (I have a dual-boot on this HDD with win7), and then the screen just turns on and off every few seconds, with the numlock light flickering with the screen.
I tried using the automatic repair, both from the boot menu and from a backup USB, but it does not detect anything. and I still have the same issue.
I restored the backups of uxtheme.dll, uxinit.dll, and themeui.dll, but that didn't help either.
Any help?
Attached is my ntbtlog.txt.
Thanks in advance. There is no BSOD, the HDD keeps on spinning a few minutes after boot, and the numlock keeps on flashing.
Anything else I can do from my win7 install? I'm currently trying to delete the theme.
Edit: deleting the theme doesn't help, safemode doesn't help either. IMHO, it seems to be a driver issue, but there were no driver updates when it was working?

Hi everyone,
I am so glad to have found this forum and to see that others in the past with similar problems have had them resolved, looking forward to nutting this one out
ISSUE
The computer is a win XP with RAID that freezes the mouse and the keyboard if a mouse or keyboard button is touched at the logon screen.
The mouse works fine until a button is pressed, you can even click on a user but are unable to enter a password due to the keyboard and mouse freezing at this moment.
NOTE: originally happened with a USB keyboard and USB mouse, using PS2 keyboard and mouse.
BACKGROUND
I am writing about my fathers old computer which suddenly started “freezing up” at the logon screen, after he wasted weeks trying to get it to work he decided that it was a hardware issue and bought himself a new computer.
Since then I have proved that there was no hardware error by putting an extra HDD in and installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Everything functions fine under Ubuntu and the files are able to be accessed on the RAID.
DESIRED OUTCOME
While i can access and copy files as needed from the RAID i would like to return access to the win XP install and let my father use it again.
STEPS TAKEN SO FAR
I first attempted to run Live rescue CD's but they could not find the RAID drive.
- Bit Defender Rescue CD – Saw the ubuntu drive, no RAID
- Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 – Didn't see any HDD's.
So I ran the following AV programs from ubuntu 12.04 LTS:

A:Unable to logon, Win XP with RAID, KB & mouse freeze at logon screen

So you are able to run the machine  using PS2 keyboard and mouse.

Step 1:

Click the Highlighted button.

When prompted select yes.
Allow the program to reboot your machine as well when prompted.

Step 2:

CLICK HERE to determine whether you're running 32-bit or 64-bit for Windows.
Once the determination has been made open either the 32-bit or 64-bit folder.
Right Click the .exe on the inside of the folder and run as admin.
A command prompt window will open telling you what has been removed upon completion.
Note: All usb devices must be removed from your machine during this step, except your keyboard and mouse of course.

Step 3:

Close any open windows
Double click the TFC icon to run the program. (Vista/7/8 Users, Right Click and select Run as Admin)
TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run
Click the Start button to begin the process
Allow TFC to run uninterrupted
Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine, if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean.

Vanilla Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop running Windows Vista. It has never had a login account or password protection, and is only used in single user mode.

Yesterday, start-ups fine, no password. Today, I'm presented with the user logon widow prompting me for a password, and cannot logon to Vista!

No-one has meddled with the laptop. Don't know if SP1 was automatically downloaded
and installed - whatever the factory defaults were from Dell. I've not seen any references to this kind of issue on Vista, but have heard about a similar thing with NT.

Any suggestions how this could have happened?

So I've noticed that whenever you have the Lock Screen Slideshow enabled, the ScreenSaver gets disabled, and vice versa (whenever you have a ScreenSaver enabled, your Lock Screen Slideshow gets disabled). Is this a bug in Windows 8.1, or is there a reason why Microsoft set it this way? (I honestly don't see what the reason could be for this).

And is there a work-around that I can do to be able to have both enabled?

Hi all

I have a problem with my fresh install of Windows 8.1. In the settings menu I have enabled the option to play a slideshow on the lockscreen and that when my PC is inactive it will show the lock screen instead of turning off the screen
For testing purposes I have set the screen turn off timer to 1 minute, but here's what happens:
After that one minute, the screen will dim slightly for a brief moment as if it wants to turn off the screen/go to the lockscreen slideshow. Then one minute later, it will do the exact thing again. Like it's being waked the second it wants to turn off the screen
Is anyone able to help me? It would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

A:Laptop won't turn off screen and play slideshow

It would be better to make a Photo Gallery Screensaver and use that, just point it to the pics you want to use in the screensaver setup.

I think the very settings you used to set up the Lockscreen Slideshow are preventing it from Locking. I don't know if you can tell your system to go to a Lockscreen after a certain period, it's either a screensaver or OFF. I'll try to set this up on my test machine and see if the same thing happens.

Hi

I hope one of you experts can advise!

I'm running a relatively modern desktop, with a SSD dedicated to my operating system; and have just upgraded to Windows 8.1 64 bit, from Windows 8

Having selected the option to run a slideshow on my Lock Screen, using images from a specified folder, I find that when I boot up, only the default image is displayed - The slide show does not run.
However, if I return to the Lock Screen setting up page, and press the Winkey and L keys simultaneously, I find that my PC returns to the Lock Screen, and the slide show runs perfectly.
So why does the slideshow not run, from boot up!

Hello Theo,

In Windows 8/8.1, there are two lock screens.

The other is the default lock screen when no user is signed in.

The desktop slideshow will only play on the lock screen for the user that has it turned on, signed in, and locked the PC.

Hope this helps,

We have a number of HP ProBook 430 G3's (30+) which are able to power on, pass the Windows 10 splash screen, but then have a grey screen where you would expect to see the typical log on screen. We have found that clicking the mouse, pressing enter (to accept the user policy message) and inputting the password of the last user and again pressing enter, will load their profile - though the start menu doesn't work. From here, I can right click the Windows button and sign out, which returns me to the log on screen, but this time correctly. Logging in again without rebooting and everything seems to works fine. So far, we have not detected any kind of pattern or repetition as to why this might be happening. Nor can we prevent it from happening in the future. Launching into Safe Mode and rebooting seems to get the machine back to normal for a while, as does removing the battery and holding the power button for 30 seconds, before trying to boot. It has become a huge problem and we're clutching at straws to resolve. Any help would be really appreciated.

A few days ago, my laptop froze the first time ever and I had to restart it (using the power button).

See if you can boot in safe mode. If so do a system restore from the point that you tried to improve the system that was developed by Microsoft.
If you can, do the system restore from normal mode, if not try it as said above.

This doesn't quite fit into the BSOD section, because it's not really a black screen of death.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate, 64x,
ATI Radeon HD 4800 series video card
4 Gb Ram

What happens is the windows boot screen appears, then I get a black screen with a mouse cursor.

If I hit "Enter" on my keyboard, then type my password, windows boots onto my desktop.

So really the log on screen is still there...it's just kind of not.

If there are more details I should post please let me know.

I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. the upgrade went smoothly. I use a folder of pictures as a slide show screen saver. After the upgrade the pictures are on the lower left portion of the screen and are too big to see the whole picture. All other pages and programs fit the screen just fine like before. How do I fix this?

# Setting a Screwdriver’s Torque

Setting a Screwdriver’s Torque by Express Assembly products,  screwdrivers use external torque adjustment knobs to achieve a torque setting. These knobs are very easy to use and allow a screwdriver’s torque to be set at any value between its maximum and minimum torque settings. Our screwdrivers come with an external grid (see figure 1) and associated torque chart (see figure 2 ) that can be used to approximately set a screwdriver’s torque. The torque grid on the screwdriver is matched to the “Mark” column in the torque chart to approximate a screwdriver’s torque setting.

For assembly applications that require exact torque setting, it is recommended that a torque meter (see figure 3) is used to set the screwdriver’s torque and that the screwdriver’s torque setting is checked at a regular interval. For these applications, it is also recommended that a torque cover (see figure 4) is used to help protect the screwdriver’s torque setting from being accidently modified. The torque cover simply covers the screwdriver’s torque knob to ensure that it is not changed during usage.

# Dispersion through Glass Slab

My questions related Dispersion through Glass Slab:

• Why does a parallel surface makes a difference?
• Why is that light do get disperse in a prism and a glass slab at surface one but at backs normal at the surface of slab but not at surface of prism?

Answer:

Problem with that solution is even if the slab is made up of two glass prism why should there be two ($$3$$ in total) bending of light. As the slab is continuous, will there be no change in speed of light inside the glass slab?Thus shouldn't slab too behave like prism?

## 2 Answers

The system of two prisms behaves similar to a plan parallel slab of glass, except that it shows a larger chromatic shift.

Different colors of light that enter a prism will come out at different angles. The dispersion depends on the angle between the entry and the exit plane and is zero for a plan parallel slab. The second prism in the image however cancels the dispersion of the first. There is however a color dependent shift. If we send in a narrow bundle of white light, made up of equal amount of red, blue and green, this will be split into three bundles. The light will appear as white where the outgoing RGB bundles overlap. Color will appear where the outgoing bundles do not overlap.

The chromatic displacement depends on the separation of the prisms. If the prisms touch they act like a plan parallel slab. This gives the smallest shift. By increasing the separation the chromatic shift can be controlled. This is the principle of a zoom axion lens.

• system of two prisms behaves similar to a plan parallel slab of glass.Why?My question is why plane slab different from a single prism.?People Say it's because slab is made from 2 prism but all be see but still if count refraction The total number of refracting surface is 2(enter and exit) for both prism and slab.Two prism at a distant have 4 refracting surface.Shouldn't it completely behave differently – user232991 Jun 2 '19 at 7:26
• Your comment is difficult to understand in its present form. All the questions that you have are addressed in my answer. – my2cts Jun 2 '19 at 7:36
• even though both prism and slab have 1 refracting surface why the angle is 0 for slab but not for prism – user232991 Jun 2 '19 at 12:48
• if slab is similar two joint 2 prism why does it shows different properties – user232991 Jun 2 '19 at 12:49
• It does not show different properties. – my2cts Jun 4 '19 at 12:19

Let us consider first a monochromatic ray. It is refracted both when it enters and when it exits from the prism. The refraction must be seen with respect to the normal (perpendicular) to the interface: when the ray enters into the glass it bends towards the normal, when it exits it bends in the opposite direction. This difference can be easily explained considering that light can make the same path in both directions!

It is worth noting that the drawings provided with the question are both wrong. I assume that the gray area is the glass and I follow one of the colors (say, the blue). The first refraction (from air to glass) is (qualitatively) correct: the ray bends towards the normal. But the second (from glass to air) is wrong, as it is still towards the normal.

So, look here for the correct scheme. You see that, the two refractions take place on surfaces with different normals, thus the outcoming ray is tilted with respect to the original incoming one. If you take a slab (glass with two parallel surfaces) the situation is qualitatively similar; however, the normal of the two surfaces is the same, hence the outcoming beam will take the same direction of the original (incoming) beam, see this nice picture.

A similar thing happens when you put two prisms as shown in your picture on the left (not so wrong...). After crossing the two prisms, the rays take the same angle of the incoming ray. This can be explained noticing that the surfaces that are crossed are four, divided in two couples having the same normals (the upper surface of the upper prism and the lower surface of the lower prism has the same normal, the lower surface of the upper prism and the upper surface of the lower prism has the same normal) although the normals of the two couples are different among them.

Now, coming to the question about dispersion. Basically, what changes among colors is the amount of refraction. If you have a slab, or two prisms coupled as in your figure, all the outgoing rays will have the same direction of the incoming ray. But the various colors will have more or less lateral displacement. The slab or the prism system do not show much difference. Also in the case of the slab, the colors are separated (maybe only slightly, if the slab is thin), but the directions are the same.

Instead, we know that a prism bends the outgoing ray. And will bend more some color with respect to another, so we will have a beam which spreads, with red rays going to a different direction with respect to blue rays.

# Is the oxygen molecule $O_2$ fermion or boson?

I ask something makes me confused.

In generating singlet oxygen molecule, I initially thought a light (photon) can excite the ground state oxygen molecule.

However, my colleague said that process is forbidden as fermion and boson hate each other.

I insisted these are all boson because ground state oxygen molecule has its intrinsic angular momentum of S=1.

I know there must be wrong reasoning in my thought. Otherwise liquid oxygen has to show Bose-Einstein condensation.

Cannot oxygen molecule really absorb a photon to be singlet oxygen molecule?

• I see three different questions here, Please use three submissions. – my2cts Sep 28 '19 at 20:14
• Doesn't it simply and definitely depend on the specific case and if the molecules probability distribution respect Pauli exclusion principle or not? – marshal craft Jan 9 at 11:46

Regardless of energy state, regardless of the choice of isotope, if we have two identical atoms in this molecule (i.e. same isotope of oxygen), this pair must have even numbers of all nucleons and electrons. This then precludes half-integer total spin, which leads to bosonic properties of the system.

I initially thought a light (photon) can excite the ground state oxygen molecule.

Yes, it can, and this has been done in real experiments, see [1] (PDF available).

However, my colleague said that process is forbidden as fermion and boson hate each other.

This is irrelevant, because simple chemical processes (without ionization) don't change number of fermions, so parity remains the same.

• The assumption of identical nuclei is incorrect for natural oxygen. – my2cts Sep 28 '19 at 20:20
• @my2cts Given its atomic weight of 15.999 (with $^{16}\mathrm{O}$ abundance of 99.76%), this assumption is pretty reasonable. – Ruslan Sep 28 '19 at 21:35
• Whether it is reasonable depends on what is required. – my2cts Sep 28 '19 at 21:54
• @my2cts well, the OP has mutliple questions in it, so I've answered that part using one of the possibilities as an example. As I elaborated further, this boson/fermion distinction is actually irrelevant here. – Ruslan Sep 28 '19 at 21:56

The rule is simple:

A combination of particles is a fermion is it contains an odd number of fermions otherwise it is boson.

Since $$\text{O}_2$$ is two of the same particle (assuming both are the same isotope), it is necessarily bosonic.

• The assumption that both are same isotope is incorrect. – my2cts Sep 28 '19 at 20:25

When the nuclei are disregarded $$O_2$$ is a boson, as there are an even number of fermions (electrons). On earth, 0.04% of the nuclei is $$^{17}O$$ which is a fermion with $$S=5/2$$ and the rest is bosonic $$^{16}O$$ and $$^{18}O$$. In conclusion, 0.08% of the natural $$O_2$$ is fermion and the rest is bosonic. However this is irrelevant for the triplet-singlet transition.

QM requires that the total wavefunction be either symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to exchange of any identical nuclei.

The total wavefunction must be symmetric if nuclei are bosons, and antisymmetric if nuclei are fermions.

The O nuclei have spin I=0, so they are bosons.

Atomic oxygen is a boson.

Thus, the total wavefunction of O2 molecule must be symmetric or even.
