    What is the relationship between Mach number and compressibility in fluids?

    So what does M mean? BTW, Reynolds number measures how viscous the flow is ( from https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/BGH/reynolds.html). "The Mach number is the most important parameter in compressible flow analysis. " (from http://nptel.ac.in/courses/112104118/38). I was just trying to understand...

    What is the relationship between Mach number and compressibility in fluids?

    Homework Statement Hi, The below website states the definition of Mach number, which is a quantity that expresses how compressible a fluid is. https://physics.info/turbulence/ M = sqrt [ ( inertial resistance in the fluid ) / ( compressional resistance in the fluid ) ] = v / c...

    Understanding e+e- --> W+W- Process Diagrams

    I am just following my lecturer's note and he didn't say when we are going to use s or t-channel.I apologize but I'm really confused since this is my first course in particle physics, and I have no previous knowledge in QED so that a lot of course notes online are too difficult for me...:sorry...

    Introductory Acoustics Homework Help

    Since v = U0cos(wt) and using the substitution v = p/ρ0c0 , rearranging we can solve for p. Then I use eq 1.8.4 with the integrand pv = U0 ^2 cos^2 (ωt) ρ0 c0 .But then the integrand doesn't go like 1/r^2 ,when I integrate over the surface it gives a 4πr^2 term. In addition, I am not sure on...

    Simultaneous eigenstate of angular momentum and hamiltonian

    Thanks I got the first part of red box:smile:. For the remaining part, I need to show that the Hamiltonian is degenerate. By definition that means E corresponds to more than 1 eigenstate. I am not sure , but from the form of eigenstate | E,m > and the equation H | E,m > = E | E,m > , we see...

    Simultaneous eigenstate of angular momentum and hamiltonian

    1.I don't know what Π_1 is representing , I mean,like position and momentum operator you have Xψ = xψ , Pψ = -ih d/dx ψ ,but here you have got something like ΠXΠ^-1 = -X which is not the usual form of Kψ = kψ. Then what can I do to compute [ H,Π } ? 2.Since L_3 is acting in the z-direction, Π...

    Simultaneous eigenstate of angular momentum and hamiltonian

    Homework Statement The red box only Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I suppose we have to show L_3 (Π_1) | E,m> = λ (Π_1) | E,m> and H (Π_1) | E,m> = μ (Π_1) | E,m> And I guess there is something to do with the formula given? But they are in x_1 direction so what did they have...

    Question related to Schrodinger equation

    Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution It is a short question so I don't suppose it is difficult. However, I don't really understand what it is asking for : 1.The TDSE itself is already a 2nd-order differential equation (if you substitute the terms back into H). 2...
