I am currently taking a quantum physics lab. The results from my most recent lab are troubling me. A quick description of the lab The setup includes an incandescent light bulb which feeds light into a monochromator. The monochromator consist of a couple mirrors and a diffraction grating. The...

Homework Statement Two positive point charges Q are held fixed on the x-axis at x=a and x=-a. A third positive point charge q, with mass m is them placed on the the x-axis away from the origin at a coordinate x such that lxl<<a. The charge q, which is free to move along the x-axis, is then...

So I do not have a clue whether this question has any merit or not. (which is why I came here) I have heard that masses create ripples in space-time (gravity waves) as they move. I have drawn a couple of logical conclusions that I would appreciate if you guys would verify or discredit...

The definition of k given here is a little lax. k= the largest value of the absolute value of the fourth derivative over the given interval. For this example f''''(x)=0 on the interval of [Pi,42] thus k=0. Fortunately for us, for any polynomial of degree 3 or less the fourth derivative is 0 for...
