Thank You!

Can anybody tell me about chapter wise comparison.At least few chapters of Gasiorowicz's book?

Can anybody tell me about the book 'Quantum Physics' by Stephen Gasiorowicz? You can give some comparison with other books such as Griffiths or Shankar's QM book.

I am a student from Electrical Engineering department and now at the end of 3rd year in my university.But I want to do MS in Theoretical Physics in my university at the end of 4th year.The Theoretical Physics department offers these courses (listed below) in their MS and I have to choose among...

many many thanks for these replies.I got it.

In a class at OCW 8.01 Professor Walter Lewin said... "...there are very prestigious physicists who even nowadays do very fancy experiments and they try to demonstrate that the time for an apple to fall does depend on its mass even though it probably is only very small, if it's true but they...

The statements is not clear to me.Would you please explain more rigorously?

If you drop your shoe and a coin side by side, they hit the ground at the same time. Why doesn't the shoe get there first, since gravity is pulling harder on it?

In any physical measurement we often refer to two terms... 1.'Order of Magnitude' of certain quantity 2.the number of 'Significant figures' What they actually mean?

Why air flow created by ceiling fan (which rotates counter clockwise (seen from beneath ceilling) ) goes downward?

Thanks.still have some trouble.but have got a way to find out these.again thanks.

I don't know how to write scientific and mathematical terms in pf like matrix,vectors,differentiation,integration,curl,divergence etc.moreover i don't know the meanings of different types of wraps enlisted in the bar above the writing page. what is the meaning of the?how to write through this...

While we calculate cross product of two vectors let A and B we write ABsinθ. And while we calculate dot product of them we write ABcosθ. Why particularly we use sinθ for cross product and cosθ for dot product.Is there any physical reason why we choose sine for cross product and cosine for...

Well,I got this.But how you will explain this with Gauss's law?Explain why electric field is zero inside a conductor by the help of Gauss's law. Now if i ask,why charges are always distributed on the surface?Why there is no charge inside the conductor?I prepared like this... Consider a...

1.Why electric field is zero inside a conductor? Can anyone explain it with Gauss's law and without Gauss's law? 2.Is it possible to create electric field inside a conductor? If so,how and in which condition it is created?
