AI Thread Summary
The discussion emphasizes the importance of self-research before seeking answers from others. Participants encourage users to utilize resources like Google and Wikipedia to find foundational information. A specific question about why only certain fractions of wavelengths reflect electromagnetic radiation is raised, indicating a desire for clarification on this topic. The forum promotes a learning approach where individuals are urged to ask specific questions if they encounter difficulties. Engaging in independent research is seen as a valuable way to enhance understanding.

hi all, could someone please explain how the above work? Thanks in advance.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
yes I could :)

but what research have you done for yourself so far ?
have you even tried to type your topic title into google ?

the first google hit was a wiki link that told you everything you would probably want to know


on Physics Forum, we try to encourage people to learn to do research, rather than have some one just spout out all the answers. You will learn much more that way :)
If there is something specific in that wiki link you don't understand, then ask specific questions


regards
Dave
 
yes why do only certain fractions of wavelenths reflect em radiation?
 
and sorry i thought if someone explained it in a summarized fashion it would help.
 
so why those fractions of the wavelenth?
 

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...
