Yeah, this is what I'm thinking...maybe I just need to get over the age thing. Thanks for the post!

I guess "alright" is pretty vague... Do you think I could find plenty of employment without a PE?

Do you think I would be alright without the Professional Engineer's License?

I want to be an engineer. I am doing my undergrad at a small private school that does not offer engineering and only offers a BA Physics (no BS Physics). I'm going to school here because a family member works here and tuition is fully covered. My school offers a 3/2 program in conjunction...

Does it have something to do with the electrons' bound state and their overlapping wavefunctions? A appreciate your patience and won't be offended if you decide to abandon the thread.

particles that are identical to each other?

...particles that can only have antisymmetric total wave functions?

Fermions, which include electrons, the relevant particles here.

It was a hint someone else gave me, but it doesn't make sense to me either.

Homework Statement Discuss the evidence from the periodic table of the need for a fourth quantum number. How would the properties of He differ if there were only three quantum numbers, n, l, and m? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution The Pauli Exclusion Principle...

Homework Statement What are the similarities and differences between the quantization of angular momentum in the Schrodinger theory and in the Bohr model? Homework Equations ? The Attempt at a Solution Similarities: -In both theories, the principal quantum #, n, determines the...

Fantastic response, Benefits! I appreciate your thoroughness. Cheers!

Homework Statement Why doesn't the energy of the hydrogen atom depend on quantum numbers l or m? Homework Equations E = (Z^2) 13.6 eV / n^2 The Attempt at a Solution Regarding l: I know that it has to do with the inverse-square law between the distance, r, of the e- and the...
