What is the math behind this experiment? If the mass flow rate of the air coming out of the guy's mouth is M1, then what is the mass flow rate, M2, of of the air going into the bag? I know that this is related to compressible flow. The explanations I have found on the internet are that since...

I'm not sure I understand completely. The article says that "a supercontinuum is formed when a collection of nonlinear processes act together upon a pump beam in order to cause severe spectral broadening of the original pump beam.' Does this mean that a super continuum laser can produce a...

I know that the photoelectric effect will essentially intensify the light by increasing the amount of photons, and I know that resonance will increase the amplitude of the light wave, but my question is, why can't you do both. Why is it that both methods produce a light that has only one wavelength?

Here is my question: Can light of multiple wavelengths (for example sunlight) that is transferred through a fiber optic cable be amplified equally with resonance? If this is not possible, are there other methods besides resonance to achieve this effect. If optical resonance is used, how do the...

I guess my real question is Can you amplify multiple wavelengths? For example, say sunlight is flowing through a fiber optic cable. Sunlight has a multitude of wavelengths. Could you in theory, increase the amplitude of all of those wavelengths equally? Also, what happens to the light...

Hello Physicists, I don't have an actual math problem, just a conceptual one. I was wondering specifically about light resonance. If I understand resonance correctly, if one has two mirrors directly facing each other, one can create a standing wave. At a certain frequency of the light...
