Dale reacted to sophiecentaur's post in the thread Undergrad The effect of a radio wave on an electron with
Like.
It implies that the momentum change of the electron will be in a direction appropriate to the E field of the wave. So the scattering of... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad The effect of a radio wave on an electron.Yes. The result depends strongly on the initial velocity of the particle and the initial phase of the wave. The discussion above is...

Tire engineer here! I'm writing up an article concerning the Law of Partial Pressure of Gases - Dalton's Law. Tires are ever so...

Why not? If I create a monster and let it loose, and it causes harm, how does saying "it's autonomous" get me off the hook? The...

Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.Good suggestion. Thread closed

Dale reacted to DaveE's post in the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split? with Like.
If y'all think repeating your position over and over, and over and over, and... will convince the other guy, you may want to focus a bit...

Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.And the output at that same point. As I already said above. But the actual problem is for ##t=0##, not ##t=0^+##. As I already said...
-
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.As we have already discussed, the question is about ##t=0##, not ##t=0^+##. This is simply factually untrue. As the OP already discussed...

Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.As we have already discussed above, all of that is true. But the debate is specifically about the completely unrealistic idealized...
-
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.That changes the problem as already discussed repeatedly above. The actual problem has no solution
-
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Question about entanglement and relative causality.Neither causes the other.

Dale reacted to kuruman's post in the thread Undergrad Are the basic axioms of thermodynamics demonstrated experimentally? with Like.
Here is a simple and convincing convection demonstration. I used to do something similar and even simpler when I taught. I placed a...

They do say that the burnt hand teaches best...

Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Are the basic axioms of thermodynamics demonstrated experimentally?.Convection is easier with air because of that, IMO. But I guess “hold your hand above this flame” is probably not a good lab exercise.

@Dale beat me to suggesting dye (you could also add it to the bottom of the water before heating, if you let the water settle and then...
