Basically, what is the Zeeman Effect and how is it caused. This isn't really a homework question, just trying to clear up my understanding and for my own notes.
Ok well, this is what my current understanding is:
The normal Zeeman Effect to be the splitting of spectral lines when a magnetic...
Are the results of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy affected if the metal were ions? For example, if you were trying to measure the amount of zinc in a sample but part of it was dissolved as ions and other parts were simply solid, would they measure the same absorption or would the ions not be...
Oh ok, thanks. :)
I was reading up on the Relativity of Simultaneity and I've got the gist of what it is: that frames of references which are moving will disagree as to whether or not events are simultaneous (like in Einstein's thought experiment involving the two lightnings and two observers -...
Hey guys. :)
I'm learning Special Relativity at the moment and I'm confused by time dilation.
Let the Earth be the frame of reference and have some spacecraft leave the planet at 0.5c for instance. If the spacecraft travels for 15 years (as seen from earth), time dilation means that it...
