    Electron Transmission Spectroscopy

    Can anyone explain what "Electron Transmission Spectroscopy" is? Or give a link where I can get an explanation?

    Why are eigenstates important in the treatment of atomic systems?

    Let's consider the hydrogen atom with one electron. If we observe the energy the result is always one of the eigenvalues even if the statefunction is arbitrary. I accept that. But why is the atom always treated as if the electron is in one of the eigenstates? Why is the statefunction always...

    Can Long-Term Marriage Retain Its Spark?

    I agree with you that there will be difficulties when you split up from a cohabitation (as from any partnership, e.g. business, that's life), but it's when you split from "legal marriage" that things get really messed up and ugly. Underneath I have copied some lines from news articles about...

    Can Long-Term Marriage Retain Its Spark?

    If you can't get what you want, settle for what you can get Well, you are a little naive if you think your spouse married you because she liked you more than anyone else - possibly she married you because she, at the time, liked you more than anyone else of those she could get...

    Can Long-Term Marriage Retain Its Spark?

    Can't two parties give and receive without a governmental involvement? Can't they cultivate the seeds on their own? Giving and receiving tender loving care - doesn't that work without governmental regulations? If there is love - just live together, and if you want others to know that you are...

    Can Long-Term Marriage Retain Its Spark?

    Marriage as a legal contract endorsed by the state is (or should be) obsolete. Marriage should only be a voluntary ceremony without legal implications if you want to announce that you are living together.

    6 problems on Conservation of Energy

    Problem 5 (a) For this motion, determine the change in the block's kinetic energy Calculate kinetic energy with initial speed v0=8 m/s and then with finel speed v=0. The difference is what they ask for. (b) For this motion, determine the change in potential energy of the block-Earth...

    6 problems on Conservation of Energy

    Problem 4. (a) String potential energy is U_s =\frac12 \cdot k \cdot x^2 Kinetic energy is KE = \frac12 \cdot m \cdot v^2 U_s=KE should give you v. (b) Energy lost due to friction is W_{fr}= F_{fr} \cdot x = \mu \cdot mg \cdot x The friction force is (almost) independent of speed -...

    6 problems on Conservation of Energy

    I see that I made a mistake in problem 1. I didn't put the mass into the formula for the kinetic energy. Should be T_A = \frac 12 \cdot m \cdot v^2. :blushing:

    6 problems on Conservation of Energy

    Problem 3. Use these general relations Hooke's law F = -(k/L)x Gravitation on body F = mg Potential energy in cord U = ½*(k/L)x^2 Potential energy of body U = mgh Use Hooke's law and "hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, he finds that his body weight stretches it by 1.30 m"...

    Can Long-Term Marriage Retain Its Spark?

    I think it's great that people stick together if they like it. I also think it's a great idea that they announce this by some ceremony, named e.g. marriage, to let the world know that they want to be considered as a union in social life and that the shop is closed for new relationships of the...

    Do Newton's Three Laws of Motion Hold True in Quantum Physics?

    The first law (a = 0 if f = 0) is a special case of the second law (f = ma).
