I know that in a double-slit experiment, the diffraction of the individual slits produces the envelope of the intensity pattern whereas the interference between the waves coming from the slits produces those little wiggles within that envelope.
But what exactly is the difference between...
Your approach makes sense but could you explain the above line in a little more detail. Specifically, I don't get how you got f^{(k)}(x+0) in the above equation.
I don't get how these two forms of the taylor series are equivalent:
f(x+h)= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{f^k(x)}{k!} h^k
f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{f^k(0)}{k!}x^k
The second one makes sense but I just can't derive the first form using the second. I know its something very simple...
Isn't that the same thing? I mean, aren't EM waves composed of photons (or rather they are one and the same thing) and therefore whatever determines the energy of a photon would also determine the energy of the EM waves (i.e the frequency)?
I am just really confused about what determines energy of a wave?! I have heard that the energy of a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared but I have also heard that frequency determines a wave's energy. Which is the correct answer? Can they both be true?
I am kinda confused on the whole electrons falling into the nucleus thing (I know you guys have probably seen this question a million times but when I searched the forum, I could hardly find a satisfying answer :frown: )
So I have heard that the reason electrons don't fall into the nuclues is...
That's what I don't get. How can a 10kV generator pass more current through your body than a 10kV static shock? Shouldn't the current be the same in both cases? By Ohm's law, I = V/R and if you assume that your body has some finite resistance, then at a particular voltage (10kV in this case) the...
