Statistical physics, using the ideas of Fermi Energies, etc. for a star
a) V=(4/3)pi(r^3) N=M/m_n (M=mass of neutron star, m_n=mass of neutron) Subbed into E_f = (hbar^2 / 2m) (3(pi^2)N / V)^(2/3). T_F = E_F / k_B b) dU = (dU/dS)_s dS + (dU/dV)_s dV p = -(dU/dV)_s dV V=(4/3)pi(r^3) -> r = cubedroot(3V/4pi) subbed into U_g = -(3/5)(G M^2 / r) take (dU/dV) plug into...- Benlaww

How to Estimate the Fermi Energy for Potassium Metal?
I have completed part a, from which I got the expression: Cv = 3KTn/(T_f) For part b, the first term is the electron contribution and the second term is the phonon contribution. I'm stuck on how to estimate the fermi energy for the potassium metal. I'm thinking I only need to consider the...- Benlaww

Nuclear physics - solar neutrinos interacting
I think I got part 1, I've got that Cl-37 + v --> Ar-37 + e- Changing the molecular mass to 0.172kg, I then get 5.68 * 10^28 molecules so then the number of Cl atoms would be four times this? giving 2.27 * 10^29. So the total area is 2.73 * 10^30 fb.- Benlaww

Thank you, I've got that I have 5.89 * 10^28 molecules of C2Cl4 but I'm still a bit confused on how it all relates.- Benlaww

Nuclear physics - solar neutrinos interacting
I'm still a bit confused with working this out, I have got the volume of the 'pipe' as 10 m^2 and so the density times volume gives 16220 kg and then I've divide this mass by the mass of 1 Cl atom to give 2.64*10^-26 atoms?..- Benlaww

Would the element it decays to just be an isotope of Cl or am I supposed to be able to tell which new element it would be?- Benlaww

Nuclear physics - solar neutrinos interacting
For the first part I thought you'd have either, p + anti-v -> n + e+ and n + v -> p + e-, but I thought it'd probably be the latter as it's a 'normal' neutrino not an anti neutrino? But do I need to include the actual elements in the equation? For the second part I have multiplied the density...- Benlaww

Compton Scattering: K, Wavelength Calculation
K= 1/2 (9.11*10^-31)(8.2*^6)^2 (wl)' = hc/k = 6.5 nm (wl)' - (wl) = 6.36 nm cos(theta) = 1- (((6.36nm)(9.11*10^-31)(3*10^8))/(6.63*10^-34)) = -2620.7 theta = error- Benlaww

So H.2πr = I _ free enclosed? Does r stay as r or does it go to R?- Benlaww

Ampere's law to find free current in a wire
so dS = r dr dθ Z as there's no terms in θ, after canceling terms becomes: (j_0/a^2) ∫ sin(ar) dr - (j_0/a) ∫ rcos(ar) dr- Benlaww
