For a required research project for my degree, I am giong to need blood samples. Anyone have any ideas on who I should contact? A hospital, a doctor? edit: Blood samples will have different blood diseases and disorders

You can think of voltage as the amoutn of energy to move an electron through a resistance and current as how many electrons are moving through the resistance.

ignoring imaginary roots?

Well, a mirror of size A=1000m^2 would obviously give you that amount of energy...but I am not sure about other parameters and how they would affect...sorry

Is that to say there is a 0 probabilty of a photon going to a positron and electron?

does the problem want a numerical answer, or an equation as a function of focal length and distance?

Well, it would depend on the focal length of the mirror and the distance between obects

can an electron and positron annhilate each other without the presence of a neutron?

Does QM tell us that photons are actually electrons and positrons goign through a cycle of annilation and creation?

The question as i am reading isn't very clear. You would have to have a parabolic mirror to focus the light...so it would depend...unless I am missing something

Just to clarify, this is a mirror and not a lens...right?

I can't believe no one has mentioned the "Boas book" (Mathematical methods in the physical sciences) for mathematics. Greatest book...ever. It is the true bible.

Ive never been a big fan of Feynmans intro lectures as yes they are intro topics, you really need a good background in them for his lectures...

To my original question, would it be difficult finding a decent paying job (about US $50,000) with a BS in physics and a MS in Engineering Technology?

At many schools in the US. 4 year Engineering Tech degrees only require math up to HS Algebra 2, not even pre-calculus. Hence it is like a 2 year ET degree from ITT tech.
