I'm a sophomore physics major and I've been filling out some REU applications, but I have an INC (incomplete) grade from last semester because I couldn't take a final due to medical reasons. The class was completely fine and I likely have an A-/B+, but I have to wait to take next semester's...
I'm a sophomore physics major finishing up my last gen. Ed requirement, for this one I picked Jazz History because it sounded interesting and fulfilled the last requirement. I have As on my writing assignments, but tests and quizzes are all multiple choice about names and dates, which it turns...
Homework Statement

a) Black body radiation:
The energy and pressure of black body radiation depend on T and V as E = σV T^4 , p=\frac{1}{3}σT^4 σ = a constant
(1) Suppose that the temperature and volume of a box of radiation change adiabatically, which means that there is no...

I've attached a screenshot of the problem, which will probably provide much better context than my retelling. I'm having problems with parts f and g. The most relevant piece of information is:
"To get used to the process of Taylor expansions in two variables, first we...
Oh, there's a small part at the bottom that got cropped out, it specifically asks for a numerical value. It also mentions something about using a binomial expansion to solve it, which I didn't understand how it applied to this problem. I've amended the link in the OP with the fixed version.

Homework Equations
Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 ... = 0
mc \Delta T = Q
The Attempt at a Solution
a. Q_{tea} + Q_{met} + Q_{cr} = 0
I converted the temperatures to K, so T_{cr} and T_{met} =...
Hey everyone, I'm currently into my second semester of a physics B.S with a math minor. After a poorly planned dabble in a chemistry double major and some mental health issues, I left last semester with a 3.1 GPA, and it likely won't get much better after this semester either. Grad school has...
