Thanks for your reply, Polyrhythmic,
I understand the reasoning behind the example you have showed, which is fine, it proves easily that I'm wrong. But could you elaborate more on why one can't simply divide those two relations?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Cygni.
Hello there PF readers,
The group velocity for example of electron waves is given by the derivative of the dispersion relation: \frac{dE}{dp}=v (this is for free electrons) ^{1}. Now the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has two forms, one for position and momentum and the other for energy...

As far as I've heard/read around, Cranfield is reputable for engineering courses. Quote: "54% of all aerospace engineering postgraduates and 25% of all agricultural and environmental sciences postgraduates in the UK graduate at Cranfield", Source: ("Cranfield University 2008 Prospectus"...
Hey Goldbeetle, thanks for the reply
I do collect all of my solutions to the exercises, the problem with this is that I do quite a lot of them so they accumulate in a great amount, I want to find ways how I could do the same amount of questions, have them saved but save the space.

Dear PF readers,
I have finished my first year physics at university and will start my second year in the beginning of this autumn. Whilst my exam results for this year were excellent, I am not completely satisfied with my methods of learning - I personally think there are more efficient...
Hello there,
I am considering to import a laptop from USA into UK. I understand that due to different regions the software may be different. Is it hard to alter this without reinstalling the software? In addition, I have read that by importing this product to UK I would need to pay custom duty...

Hello PF readers,
Could anyone enlighten me on this specific field of research in physics? I am particularly interested how new/old this field is, current developments, major theories/models/predictions motivating the research, obstacles if any, the saturation of the field?
Thanks in...
Hello,
Given that we have some matrix M with unknown real elements a, b, c, d and we know its eigenvalues \lambda_{1} and \lambda_{1} (no eigenvectors though) and the value of the determinant is it possible to find the elements and hence the matrix M using this informaiton?
Thanks
