Hi there,
Single electron realizations of the double slit experiment is always mentioned as one of the standards 'proofs' of particle/wave duality, along with a series of pictures with single dots appearing in an interference pattern.
Has anyone ever made the experiment with single...
Hi there,
I am currently finishing my second year of a 3-year bachelors in Engineering physics at the Technical University of Denmark. My plans are to get a masters degree in theoretical physics from the University of Copenhagen, and them I am thinking of going abroad for a Ph.D.
Until...
Hey all,
I know this has been discussed before, but seeing that I can't find a post anywhere with a good solution, maybe another discussion won't hurt.
How do you make a script lowercase 'r' in Latex, resembling what you see in eg. Griffiths Electrodynamics?
So far I have found two...
@Markem:
What you say could happen if both objects had the same mass and where traveling with the same speed, but in opposite directions along the same line. Then the total momentum before would be 0, just as it is after.
Remember that momentum is a vector so the direction of the velocities...
My main question is: When I get a masters in physics and write my thesis in, say condensed matter physics - how are the options of changing area, and maybe apply for a Ph.D. in some other field of physics, maybe elementary particles?
And later on, if I choose to do my Ph.D in one subject, how...
Well I've got a couple of points more on the 'quick check', which are completely necessary to make a good exam in my opinion, since it is impossible not to make small mistakes, but inexcusable not to correct them, if they can be found with a very quick check.
Nobody has said anything about unit...
I haven't really found, or at least not decided on, my 'niche' yet, as I'm just getting to the fun part now - I'm only one year into by Bachelor.
However I am on an Engineering Physics program, but am beginning to find out that it is probably not that way I am going to go. I find that I...
Ok - I wasn't aware that it is not possible to just get a masters.
Thank you all very much.
Luckily it is mostly day dreaming anyway now, since it is relatively far out in the future.
Does anyone know how it is in the UK then?
How would the chances be, when applying the top universities...
Hello there,
I am currently studying for a Bachelor in Physics in Denmark, at the Technical University of Denmark, however the thought of taking my Master in the US has crossed my mind, and I want to ask:
Just how difficult is it to get into the top tier, internationally known...
Hey there,
I was lucky enough to participate in the 2009 Finals in Mexico, and my oppinion is:
Your preparation time is best spend calculating a lot of hard problems, on the IPho website you can find all the problems and solutions from all the competitions - do as many of them as you have time...
Hello,
I am currently working on an optics project, were one of the objectives is to find the eigenmodes for the E field in an infinite, normal step index fiber.
We are using the weak guiding approximation an are thus solving the helmholtz equation.
From what I've been able to grasp we...
@Physiab: Yep I know it is selective, but luckily my university has an exchange arrangement, so they are the ones supposed to accept my application. I do believe I have a good change of being accepted by them.
@marcusl: Yeah, I wish it was the UC's, but my school's arrangement are with the...
