Waiting to hear from:- Berkeley Stanford Cornell Chicago Michigan State Ohio State Stony Brook Maryland have also applied to the elementary particle physics program at Munich... (IMPRS)

840.. 82 percentile... how much does the gre score matter?

You are still trying to think with the particle picture... where electrons are points distributed somewhere in the space. The ground state function you obtain by solving the schroedinger equation is the probability amplitude of the electron... Hence, in a sense... electron is like a cloud...

yea... that was exactly my point... he would be able to get into an IIT, but not neccessarily his first choice... Regarding the specialization issue, you can certainly shift over after your MSc... but in your second year you work on a MSc project... which is a year long project... it helps a...

IITK is the best... not IITD... IITKGP, IITB come second i think... The problem with IITK is that, everyone (all the profs) there do condensed matter physics... and mostly experimental... so you don't get much of a choice in your project in 2nd year msc. In IITB there are 2-3 people working in...

yea... that list seems to be sufficient... but i would strongly suggest finishing off resnick halliday first... and also solving problems from irodov... irodov's problem compilation is pretty good...

well, it is something about "Cosmological reionization around the first stars" ... so i think it is the stefan-boltzmann and blackbody radiation... but i might be wrong... please help!

hmm, sorry i hadnt given TIFR entrance and JEST... but about griffiths ED... you could go through the inital chapters for ED, but some of the latter stuff is not included in the entrance examinations... it will be included as a course in your second semester (at IITB... might be different at...

changing my opinion... sakurai and shankar now!

sorry for the late reply... i had finished resnick and haliday... and then solved problems from irodov... also, i had attempted 9 out of the 10 theory problems... 6 i was able to solve completely... sorry, that's all i remember... what books are you using currently?

Could someone please suggest a reference from where I could read up radiative transfer physics?

Given a spherically symmetric attractive potential of the form V(r) = -V * e^(-r/a) To solve the schroedinger equation and obtain the quantization condition for the energy eigenvalues. Hint : - Use the Substitution x = e ^ (-r/2a) I did the usual separation of variables psi = R *...

hmm... Could you please advice on how to go about doing that? I am currently doing MSc in Physics at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India. For some reason it is considered as an undergraduate course, though it being a "Masters" course. I will be applying next year...

Hey... I am currently in IIT Bombay doing MSc physics. Got through JAM 2006, rank 37... Do post here if you have any more questions.. .I would be glad to be of help. @ Reshma Are you in some IIT? Or will you be appearing for JAM?

Classical Mechanics by Irodov discusses it...
