In lectures I covered how a Schmitt trigger can be used in an RC circuit to determine the capacitance of the capacitor (Where the Schmitt trigger switches at 0.3V+ and 0.6V+). The equation given was that C = 1.2 R \ T (time period) Does anyone know how to derive this or where it comes from...

I did mean orthonormal, ahh confusion! thanks :)

Expanding (x* <B| + y* <C|)(x |B> + y |C>) =(x* <B|)(x |B>)+(x* <B|)(y |C>)+(y* <C|)(x |B>)+(y* <C|)(y |C>) =x*x <B|B> + x*y <B|C> + y*x <C|B> + y*y<C|C> Where <B|B> and <C|C> = 1 and <B|C> and <C|B> = 0?

Homework Statement If |A> = x |B> + y |C> where |B> and |C> are orthonormal, then what happens when <A|A> ?The Attempt at a Solution Would <A| = x* <B| + y* <C|? I'm not really sure where to go from there
