    Young's Double Slits: Coherent Light Explained

    Coherent light means light of same wavelength and frequency, also it has to be in phase A standard bulb emits light of lots of frequencies and wavelength. Its not necessarily in phase either... This will just result in lots of destructive interference and you probably won't get a pattern with...

    Capacitor Q: Charging vs Discharging

    Hmm... Usually capacitors are discharged using a resistor. This increases the time taken for it a capacitor to discharge is caused by the increase of resistance. In terms of charge: http://www.s-cool.co.uk/a-/phy-/ecapac-/a-phy-ecapac-ql3_files/image024.gif We can see time (t) is...

    What is the Definition of Moduli of Elasticity?

    In english that would mean y=x+c or y=ax^2+bx+c ...kind of equations... So don't be discouraged by the words used in the various definitions given.

    What is the Definition of Moduli of Elasticity?

    Good definition! Here is mine Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectors, vector spaces (or linear spaces), linear transformations, and systems of linear equations. Vector spaces are a central theme in modern mathematics; thus, linear algebra is widely used...

    What are the factors that determine the different lifetimes of particle decays?

    Although the weak nuclear force used to be described by Fermi's theory of a contact four-fermion interaction, today we know that it is mediated by the W and Z bosons. Because of their large mass of about 90 GeV/c2, their mean life is limited to about 3 * 10^{-25}seconds Hope that is helpfull...
