I wasn't sure where to post this, I hope this was the right section.
I've been struggling quite a bit with implementing an autocorrelation code into my current project. The autocorrelation as it is now, is increasing exponentially from 1 at the start of my MC run, and hitting 2 halfway through...
This question has been bugging me quite some time now. I'll start presenting my background for the problem:
Fact:
Photons are time-dependent oscillations of electric and magnetic fields as described by Maxwell's equations.
Now, I've heard a lot of people, including professors saying that a...
Homework Statement
As the title says, I need to show this. A conformal transformation is made by changing the metric:
##g_{\mu\nu}\mapsto\omega(x)^{2}g_{\mu\nu}=\tilde{g}_{\mu\nu}##
Homework Equations
The Weyl tensor is given in four dimensions as:
##...
Homework Statement
A hydrogen atom at rest emits a photon with wavelength 410.1 nm.
First, calculate the recoil of the hydrogen atom when emitting the photon. (recoil = momentum)
Second, calculate the recoil of the hydrogen if we replace the electron mass with the reduced mass μ.
Third...
