    Undergrad Huygens principle introduction

    why only the common tangential surface of the secondary wavelets forms the new wavefront ? what about all the other interferances that might occur between the waves of the secondary sources , like the constructive interferances that occur slightly offside towards the inside of the tangential...

    Graduate Deriving Lorentz transformations

    Well I think that if I observe an object moving with velocity v then how can I know how is the object observing me. Also if the speeds are equal then can I say that in my refrence frame X=vt And in his frame X'=vt' Please forgive me if I m mistaken I m not so good at physics...

    Graduate Deriving Lorentz transformations

    Why is relative speed taken to be symmetrical i.e. speed of one frame of reference from a second frame is equal to that of the second frame of frame refrence from the first frame

    Undergrad How to find atomicity of solid elements as can't apply the gas law

    we can use avogadro's law and gay lussacs law to find atomicity of gases but what about solid elements
