1) When you excite amolecue and it releases photons off a given frequency, is that frequency the the very frequency which would best excite an identical molecue? 2) or are the release frequency(ies) and absorption frequency(ies) different? 3) If you excite a hydrogen atom with a certain...

The very first line of my post may be misconstrued to seem irritatingly simple. (Don't judge!) Well, it's not. What I meant on the very first line I wrote, was quite deep, at least for my knowledge, I know a photon of a correct frequency can excite an electron- it absorbs it. How does it...

What is the process through which photons are absorbed/emitted from an atom? Also... One of the threads i visited first was this: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=76246" Post number 11, the one by Zoobyshoe explaining what Claude meant by the rope analogy using a billiard...

Thanks for your answers The energy has to go somewhere, but I'm curious what is the actual process of how it's released? If the magnetic field is "over there" to the left and the electronic field is "up there" over it, then how come the magnetic field doesn't pull the electronic field over...

I am interested in knowing some things. When an electron moves down an energy level, it releases a photon. How does it do that? What is the process it goes through that a photon is actually released. Waves are electromagnetic, Why is it that they travel at 90 degrees angles to each other...

Why couldn't it be common. I think it is not quite as rare as you think, but people are just unwilling to fund testing because it is such a gamble to anybody that has money. They probably think it is a gamble, because they understand well enough. Right good advice. It's probably what I...

I want to be a theoretical physicist, and I've been looking online, and so far all I find are jobs at universities. I want to work for an independent research company. Is there such a thing? The reason I am asking is because, I am in college, and I have to write a paper about my career...

"empirical evidence" It is true that we have massive evidential support, but I still don't understand. We don't have any reasoning as to what causes these laws actually to be correct, right?

Why do we accept Newtons laws? For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. why? An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Why does it need a force to stop it?

viewing a single wave, crest to crest, let's see what its made of, major parts, excluding complicated discoveries, just the plain and simple wave: wave length and Amplitude (and of course new discoveries like longitudal, and scalar waves, and harmonics etc., but I won't get into that here?)...

Simple answer:it would go up! Because the cork is floating there, all forces are equal, and is simulating a zero gravity chamber. the cork goes with the motion of its environment, or any other force acting upon it, which in this case is only water. Assuming bucket is perfectly...

OK Help Again please Ive come back for continuation of help from the previous problem. This time, instead of leaving quite so much ambiguity, i Will be more specific, but in one detail. Ok, again with the hypothetical thing producing EM waves in all directions. And let's say I stuck a...

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/2931/energyplan26qs.th.png There is my uh rudamentary drawing of a scenerio where something emitting em waves(green) is surrounded by a faraday cage(yellow). umm I believe current is induced in the 'cage', how would I divert the current to use, because if I...

Well... I wasn't being sarcastic! He gave me the exact answer i wanted :smile: So this type of answer was Perfect
