Why not heat a stainless steel water container, that is fixed-in-place? If heated from below, the water will circulate and mix, so ice...

It is too hard to say without knowing at what level the courses are taught and what is offered in the physics department. This is what...

But you asked about the convergence of engineering and physics. Engineering is nearly always about devices. Otherwise you'll be stuck...

Einstein was in academia. He published in the professional scientific literature of his time. He was an academic that also worked as a...

Yes, that works for me. But the charges inside the wire (the waveguide part) are also involved. Ultimately it's a bit too complex to be...

5 M frames per sec is not fast enough to capture the wave that travels down the wire starting from the switch, which takes just about a...

If you have a narrow resolution bandwidth you can use that to convert the spectral density into a voltage. You can assume the psd is...

Lasers. Quantum Computing. Semiconductors.

It's not a "holier than thou attitude", it's a true reality. That's not what I said. I said "near zero". It's certainly possible (not...

There's really no way around the fact that the barrier to entry (being educated in physics) is required for practical reasons. There's...
