High School Solving x^y=y^x & x+y=6 with Deduction
Hi All, I was given two equations back in my school days to solve for both x and y it is as follows x^y = y^x & x+y = 6 Now it can be seen that following would be possible solutions (x=4,y=2),(x=3,y=3),(x=2,y=4). But is there any deductive way to solve this ? Regards, Arka- arka.sharma

Undergrad Doubt in Michelson Morley experiment
Now this is completely clear and well understood. So if we compare the river's flow to left as ether's relative velocity with Earth and the swimmer with the path of light towards the top mirror then is the path towards 'b' in fig 2 of...- arka.sharma

Undergrad Doubt in Michelson Morley experiment
Thanks ghwellsjr. I am having difficulty in understanding the following fact.According to the picture that posted by Enigman the experiment setup/earth is moving right which results aether to move left with velocity 'v' with respect to earth.The light came from the source reflected at first...- arka.sharma

Undergrad Doubt in Michelson Morley experiment
Thanks for the link.I will surely go through the link because right now I can't install the plugins. My question was why the trajectory of light beam was expected along the dotted line is because it is being emitted from a source which is having a velocity v or is there some other reason ? Does...- arka.sharma

Undergrad Doubt in Michelson Morley experiment
Thanks for your reply. My question is how light beam is taking the dotted path as shown in the picture.Is it aether velocity 'v' opposite to the pointed direction in the picture that is causing light beam to follow the dotted line instead of the bold line of distance 'L'.- arka.sharma

Undergrad Doubt in Michelson Morley experiment
Hi All, I studied about Michelson Morley experiment in my graduation in the compulsory Physics paper. I had Computer Science major(not a Physics guy:frown:), anyways this question came in my mind during my graduation time and may be because of my misinterpretation however couple of days ago...- arka.sharma
