    A Operators in Quantum Mechanics

    Actually I was thinking like we say that the x-axis y-axis and the z-axis are identical due to the isotropy of space, we know that in momentum space the position operator takes some functional form so when we represent the x operator or the y operator, their functional natures are the same. Now...

    A Operators in Quantum Mechanics

    Hey guys, Am facing an issue, we know that x and y operators take the same form due to isotropy of space, but sir if we destroy the isotropy, then what form will it take? Can u pleases throw some light on this! Thanks in advance

    I Dark Energy: Exploring its Impact on the Universe

    Hey guys, I was wandering that, if dark matter and dark energy makes up 68 and 27 percentage of the the universe, then is it justifiable to study these in terms of models of the known parts of the universe which comprises of less than 5 percentage of the universe, also it is clearly evident...

    I Physical significance of nodes?

    Hi, II have an issue with nodes in QM, like suppose in a well, the number of nodes depend on (n-1), the thing is that, what is so special(physically) about the point that the particle cannot be located there? Thanks is advance

    Recommended Books for Studying Relativistic Electrodynamics

    Hey guys, Can you please refer some good books to refer to in studying relativistic Electrodynamics (introductory parts), covering the Maxwell's equations in tensor form the L-W potentials and other aspects. FYI am just a beginner in relativistic Electrodynamics. Thanks for the help.

    I Proving the Linearity of the Curl Operator in Electromagnetic Theory

    Hi, I stumbled upon thinking that "Is curl operator a linear operator" ? I was reading EM Theory and studied that the electromagnetic field satisfies the curl relations of E and B. But if the operator was not linear then how can a non linear operator give rise to a linear solution. Thus it...

    Volume in n Dimensions: Understanding the Meaning of n=0

    Hello, Surfing across the internet, I learned that the volume of a sphere in n dimensions can be expressed by V(n) = (Π^(n/2)) / Γ((n/2)+1), where n is the number of dimensions we are considering But if we consider n=0, then we get 1. So, how do we interpret this? I mean what does volume in zero...

    Electron Spin Problem: Exploring the Stern-Gerlach Experiment

    Hello, I've been reading the Stern-Gerlach experiment, and where the concept of electron spin is introduced, am facing a problem, i.e., if you consider electron a charged rotating sphere, then the electromagnetic energy and size of the electron becomes huge! So how do you deal with this? Thanks...
