Consider the above experimental setup.
Here the source can emit one photon at a time.
The output from the source is sent to a beam splitter which divides it into three possible paths of equal probability.
Splitter 2 further splits the path 3 into two paths of equal probability.
We have...
Thats what I had in my mind. But is it not possible that even before they meet, they have a fully defined state. After they meet they readjust themselves so as to satisfy Bells theorem.
After all, our past is stored in our present memories. So the present memory can be changed so that we...
Can we have a local hidden variable theory explanation for Bells theorem?
The outcomes of the mesurement (measuring the electron spin of an entangled electron pair as Red or Green) can be random initially without any correlation at all.
But by the time we compare the results of the two...
The actual probability of finding the ball in the picked box would be 0.5.
Is it atleast possible to reduce this?
So if we carry out this experiment many number of times we would see that most of the time the ball turns up in the other box and very few times in the box we picked.
Suppose we are given two boxes and we are told that there is a ball in either one of them.
We are free to pickup anyone of the boxes - but only one.
Then we are allowed to measure or check what is in the picked box and the other one.
Normally we would have 50% chance of finding the ball in...
As per the Wheeler Feynman absorber theory, there cannot be electromagnetic radiation
without an emitter and absorber.
If we had only a single electron in the universe then disturbing it (accelerating it) would not produce any radiation since there was nothing to absorb it. Hence it would...
Thanks for clarifying. This seems to indicate that the amount of energy transferred converges to a fixed value as N (no. of turns) tends to infinity.
Is this because the successive turns in the coil are linked to lesser magnetic flux?
You mean to say that there is limit to the energy that can be transferred to the coil between the interval x/c and 2x/c.
Can we not increase the energy transferred initially by increasing the number of turns in the coil. More turns mean more current flowing in the coil.
The point I was trying to make was that the initail energy due to the current induced in the coil is entirely due to the electromagnetic wave.
The kinetic energy of the electromagnet cannot contribute to the induced current, as it does not decrease initailly.
Lets consider the time interval...
