If I were to decide that I did not want to go through with a PhD in physics and go into academia, what would be the best career path job security/pay wise. Hypothetically I graduate with a BS in physics with research experience, would it be better to go to grad school for some other field (say...
I am currently an undergraduate at a small physics school in Texas. I'm a freshman, but I'll be graduating in ~2.5-3 years (lots of ap credits/local uni). My parents are in the process of moving to Europe(Italy), and I really would like to find something physics related I could do for the...
I ended up just solving for n, and using only integer values of n, and then adding and subtracting 1 integer value, and solving for lambda, until lambda was out of the limits (633.001 and 629.999)
Homework Statement
The fact that a laser's resonant cavity so effectively sharpens the wavelength can lead to the output of several closely spaced laser wavelengths, called longitudinal modes. Here we see how. Suppose the spontaneous emission serving as the seed for stimulated emission is of...
Sorry about that, I screwed up a lot of things in typing it out
JJ+0.5e-J√2pi
My work
probability for a 50/50 distribution is
(N!)/((0.5N)!(0.5N)!)
probability for a 40/60 distribution
(N!)/((0.4N)!(0.6N)!)
when you divide 50/50 over 40/60 you get
((0.4N)!(0.6N)!)/((0.5N)!)2
So when I...
Homework Statement
The stirling approximation, J! = √JJ+1/2e-J, is very handy when dealing with numbers larger than about 100. consider the following ratio: the number of ways N particles can be evenly divided between two halves of a room to the number of ways they can be divided with 60% on...
