    Determination of time-dependent coefficients (QM)

    I forgot a subscript, you are right. Also, the problem was that my vectors were not orthogonalized. Thanks!

    Determination of time-dependent coefficients (QM)

    Hi, I am trying to solve the following equation: \Psi(r,t) = \sum_n C_n(t) e^{-i E_n t} \psi(r) to find the C_n(t)s. The system I am modeling is benzene. I can, by Hückel's method, determine the time-independent solution. The apparently obvious transition from time-independent...

    Programs Can I get a Ph.D. in physics if my bachelor's degree isn't in physics

    The answer to your question is to be found in the first post of this thread. That's what I meant.

    Programs Can I get a Ph.D. in physics if my bachelor's degree isn't in physics

    I laughed because your post beats the whole point of this thread. I'm not offended nor wanting to offend, I just saw the unintentional irony in what you wrote. :P

    Programs Can I get a Ph.D. in physics if my bachelor's degree isn't in physics

    Nobody wants to pursue graduate studies in chemistry. Why does physics get all the love? :(

    Book for learning quantum and electronics

    I have McQuarrie's Quantum Chemistry, which suited my needs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1891389505/?tag=pfamazon01-20 There is some overkill in there, at least for me. If you haven't got the mathematical agility usually recommended to study quantum physics, this book is for you. It's not...

    What is the relationship between refractive index and pressure in gases?

    \rho = \frac{mp}{nRT} To be honest, I'm starting to think I don't even NEED the Clausius equation to solve this problem... Do I?

    What is the relationship between refractive index and pressure in gases?

    The problem confuses me. I don't understand how I can go from the Clausius equation to n_r = 1+ K\times p

    What is the relationship between refractive index and pressure in gases?

    Supposing you're talking about the Clausius equation, I would say \frac{\rho}{M} = \frac{1}{V_m} depends on the pressure (inversely to how it behaves in phase diagrams).

    What is the relationship between refractive index and pressure in gases?

    Dependence of refractive index on pressure Homework Statement Show that, in a gas (for which the refractive index is close to 1), the refractive index depends on the pressure as n_r = 1+ K\times p, and find the value of K. Homework Equations n_r = 1+ K\times p Clausius-Mossotti...

    Does Refractive Index of a Gas Change with Pressure?

    Dependence of refractive index on pressure Homework Statement Show that, in a gas (for which the refractive index is close to 1), the refractive index depends on the pressure as n_r = 1+ K\times p, and find the value of K. Homework Equations n_r = 1+ K\times p Clausius-Mossotti...

    How Does the Dieterici Equation of State Compare to Reality?

    I got it. The Dieterici equation of state can be differentiated as it is, but it's more convenient to change its form before differentiating it. To help with differentiation, I used the natural logarithm of both sides. I differentiated the log() form of the equation, twice. At the critical...

    How Does the Dieterici Equation of State Compare to Reality?

    [SOLVED]Dieterici equation of state Homework Statement Establish the relationship between the critical constants and the parameters of Dieterici equation of state. Show that Z_c=2e^{-2} and deduce the reduced Dieterici equation of state. Compare the predicted Z_c from both Dieterici's and...
