Hello all, I am in desperate need of some help. I'm writing my last paper for my senior capstone in physics (:smile::smile::smile:) and my experiment is Faraday Rotation. I CANNOT find a reference for the Verdet Constant of SF59 glass at 650nm (found V for many other wavelengths). I have...
It's funny you should mention that it all depends on what field of geophysics I want to go in to, because I didn't realize how broad the field was until I talked with the geophysicist here on campus. I told him I wasn't comfortable going into the University with such a limited understanding of...
If you're about to write a theoretical physics paper and are asking us how, whether it be by your fault or your institutions, you're in a heap of trouble.
Help us out here and give us some specifics:
What course is this for? English? Physics? History? Pop Culture? Is this for fun/curiosity...
Unfortunately, I think I'm going to get "lost in the crowd" so to speak when it comes to applying to graduate schools. I have no research experience, a below 3.0 GPA, and I'm graduating in May. I hate to keep harping on the same issue, but when I transferred to the University I slipped through...
Check out Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. http://www.http://physics.appstate.edu/
It's observatory is ranked #20 in the nation (for colleges). I'm not sure about planetary sciences, but they do offer Physics Degrees with concentrations in Astrophysics and Astronomy. There are a...
Thanks, Sophia! I didn't mean to imply that I'm not going to finish my degree. I've made it this far, it'd be a waste not to graduate. I just meant that I'm lost on what to do after May comes around. I'm 25 and have been going to school non-stop for the 8yrs since I've graduated high school...
Well, the title sums it up pretty well. I realized I hate physics during the middle of my junior year of undergrad, but at that point it was already too late to switch majors. I decided to change my concentration to geophysics hoping that would help (the idea was to go into the oil industry)...
So, I've rewritten the partition function using what I think is correct regarding the degeneracy.
Z= e-6.803(1-1/9)/KT + e-6.803(1-1/4)/KT + e-6.803(1-1/1)/KT
= e-6.047/KT + e-5.102/KT + e0
= (4)(1+ e-6.047/KT + e-5.102/KT)
I multiplied the partition function by 4 since it's four-fold...
First off, I'm glad I'm finally a member on this board. It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY over the past few years with various problems I've had. You guys/gals are awesome and hopefully I can make some contributions to this site.
