    Units being used in the graphs for ψ and radius (in nm) and ψ^2 and ra

    We've just started learning about ψ in the quantum mechanics section of our atomic structure chapter. So while reading, I found these graphs where they used certain units along the y-axis for the graphs for ψ and radius (in nm), and ψ^2 and radius. What units are these exactly? My chemistry...

    Does covering half of a hose affect the flow rate of water from an open tank?

    There's always gravity...and you should also consider the pressure in a liquid. (There's a formula for it which depends on depth) so the deeper the hole in the tank, or higher the level of water in the tank, the more pressure will be acting at a certain depth (with the most at the bottom , where...

    Does covering half of a hose affect the flow rate of water from an open tank?

    I think that the velocity of the water would increase regardless whether it passes through a half-covered hole in a hose or at the bottom of a tub/tank/water-tower. In each scenario, the water is being acted upon by a force in the direction of the (half-covered) hole. So if you can assume that...

    What is the difference between resonance in a vacuum and resonance in a medium?

    Ok, thanks for the answers guys. I was just confused whether there is a difference in the increased amplitude produced due to resonance in different media. I actually didn't clarify enough, sorry (First time using a forum (obviously)). So what I'm asking is, would there be a greater increase...

    What is the difference between resonance in a vacuum and resonance in a medium?

    So we're studying resonance. It says that it occurs when an external periodic force acting on a body is exactly equal to the natural frequency of the body. The body then begins to vibrate with greater/increasing amplitude and intensity. And so what I want to know is that is there a...
