thank you for your amusing and thought provoking answer

I really appreciate all of you posting on here to try and help me understand this, some of your explanations have helped me see areas where i was modeling the system incorrectly but I am still having trouble understanding the reflected wave. I understand generally that the reflection is...

I'm two years into my physics degree and I like physics but I'm not sure research is really what i want to do. I never get as excited over some new discovery as I do over new technology. When ever I come up with a project its always engineering related and never about an experiment I could do. I...

I am losing my mind over this, it seems the longer i think about it the further i get from a definitive answer. It started with me trying to understand the variables the would result in a standing wave, ie: what needs to occur, why, and how it occurs. At first i was confused because it seemed...

Thank you for your responses I'll check into to both of those suggestions.

I don't have the exact vacuum i need on hand but it's not much, I've been using a sort of hand pump piston i made until now. Will it? I had assumed that the pumping chamber would be air tight and serve to hold the vacuum until i could seal the valve to the vacuum chamber. Also would i be able...

I have a project that I've been working on for awhile and I've recently decided to try and upgrade parts of it. However, my knowledge on the subject is pretty sparse. What I want to do is have a vacuum pump which will shut off when my chamber reaches a certain level of vacuum. If anyone could...

Thank you all for your replies especially TysonM8 that's the exact answer i was looking for

Thank you for answering I think you may have misunderstood what i was asking, I understand all that, what I am saying is that relative to the moving charges in the wire the charge outside the wire has a velocity. So why wouldn't it undergo a force

Our professor proposed a scenario during lecture that went like this, There is a wire of infinite length that has a current. At a short distance from the wire is a single charge which is stationary relative to the wire. What i don't understand is this, since the charge has a velocity relative...

Thank you very much for your response and ill definitely check out that book

Hey everyone so normally I prefer the challenge of conceptualizing these types of things myself but I really am stuck. I can't grasp the concept of Plancks quantas and it seems like an important first step in understanding quantum mechanics. It seems from what I've read that he basically found...
