I have read the arguments put forth by all the members here and i come to the conclusion that we can define relative velocity which can be greater than c for two photons, but will it be valid in context of particles traveling at relativistic speeds but less than c, in this scenario we can define...
So do u mean to say that conservative or non-conservative nature is case dependent??
If so, is there a clear-cut way to recognize this like in the case of an induced electric field due to varying magnetic field is always non-conservative...
I read the wikipedia link, and it does not explain as to why the current density is maximum at the surface and as to why the induced electro-motive force is maximum at the centre?
And more so why do the electrons get deflected the most towards the surface from the centre??
Is Magnetic field conservative or non-conservative in nature, I have searched online regarding this, it seems to be a divided house, MIT professor Walter Lewin demonstrated that it is non-conservative using an experiment, but still many arent convinced with the way experiment was conducted...
THE RETURN of two opposite traveling photons!
This is a question which has been intriguing me, if two photons A and B travel in opposite direction, what would be the relative speed between them?
If it is 'c', then after one year the distance between the two photons would be 2 light years...
I did not give detailed information regarding the self-interaction or self-energy as it would have made the thread lengthier.
The problem of self-energy is well known both in classical and quantum physics, lorentz and maxwell tried to solve it using classical theory but were unsuccessful, Dirac...
I am not understanding what do you mean by higgs boson gain mass by interacting with the higgs field, does it mean continuous interaction or instantaneous interaction?
I am an interested observer not a scientist, my doubt is that if higgs boson is made up of fundamental particles, so who gains the mass first?
Higgs boson or the particles which constitute it??
I understand that an electron gets its mass by self-interaction of its fields which is explained by QED, but on the other hand there is the higgs mechanism which gives mass to all the fundamental particles.
Does the electron have two types of mass one which is due to the QED mechanism and the...
As u have said that A1 to B1 is radiative and A1 to A2 is non-radiative, my doubt is that how does an electron which is in A1 and is about to make a transition, know WHICH IS A2 OR B1 , for the electron it only experiences the life-time of these states and hence we can distinguish between...
Higgs boson are the mediators in the theory involving a scalar bosonic field giving rise to inflation just after the Planck time!
Higgs mediate this scalar field and hence as this field is a gauge field, Higgs belong to the class of gauge bosons.
Its the only fundamental scalar boson in the...
I wonder whether an electron can make a transition from one metastable state to an another metastable state, if so it leads to a paradox(atleast according to me) viz for the refrence frame of the metastable state A from which electron makes the transition, it will be a radiative transition and...
