    Black body radiation -- Spherical shell surrounding a star

    That's what I figured! Is the solution wrong?

    Black body radiation -- Spherical shell surrounding a star

    I don't understand how this can be solved. The official solution was: F=\sigma*T^4 E=F*4\pi R^2*60*60 This doesn't make sense to me, as it seems to imply that the energy that the black body radiates depends on the radius of the shell. For a very large shell the body will reflect...

    Quantum mechanics - several constant potentials

    I divided the first equation by the second: \frac{1}{k}tan(kb)=-\frac{1}{\alpha} And I plugged in the numbers. No units were provided.

    Quantum mechanics - several constant potentials

    What I tried to do was using the fact that the wave function should be continuous. Asin(kb)=Be^{-\alpha b} The derivative also should be continuous: kAcos(kb)=-\alpha Be^{-\alpha b} And the probability to find the particle in total should be 1: \int_0^b A^2sin^2(kx) dx + \int_b^{\infty}...

    Definition of energy level width

    My problem is that "width of energy level" was never defined in my class so I don't know how to proceed.

    Definition of energy level width

    First, it is easy to see that n=4 after the collision because: E_1=-13.6\frac{1^2}{1^2}eV=-13.6eV E_4=-13.6\frac{1^2}{4^2}eV=-0.85eV E_5=-13.6\frac{z^2}{5^2}eV=-0.544eVBut, I never saw a definition for the width of an energy level. I tried to use something I saw online that said it was...

    Determining the direction of current due to a change in magnetic flux

    This is supposed to be very basic, where the loop is held there is a declining magnetic field in direction (-z), therefore the current is supposed to be clockwise. However in the answers it is said the the current is anti clockwise. That doesn't make sense to me. Is there a mistake in the answers?

    Voltage across an inductor after flipping a switch

    One question about this - does the energy must be continuous in the entire circuit or in the inductor itself? Can the energy completely "disappear" from the inductor instantly, while moving somewhere else?

    Finding the charge density of an infinite plate

    One more thing regarding the original question. How did you know that on the grounded part the charge is 0?

    Finding the charge density of an infinite plate

    One question: When are the charges free to move and when are they "pasted"?

    Energy ratio of two systems with charged planes

    I am sorry but I don't understand. I really don't know at all how to analyze this. If you are willing to do so please write how to analyze this probably. It will help me tremendously, I have already wasted hours on trying to understand this. EDIT: Let me elaborate. Let me elaborate. If the...

    Energy ratio of two systems with charged planes

    Well, then I assume that for the outer plates the charge is entirely on the lower part. The only way I am able to understand this is by thinking about the upper part of the middle plates and the lower part of each outer plate to be capacitors. So if each side of the middle plate has the charge...

    The electric field inside a hole inside a conductor is still 0?

    This is not a homework question but something that bugs me a bit. My professor has stated that the electric field inside a conductor is 0. This I understand. However, he has also said that even if the conductor has some hole in it, the electric field inside this hole is also 0 Now, two...
