Ok, thanks for all of your help. :smile:

Sorry, that's what I meant. Do you know of any resources for understanding this? As far as I know, wikipedia doesn't have a page on rf cavities without superconductivity involved.

Sorry, I have been off working on schoolwork. I am trying to learn about how the radiofrequency waves accelerate the cavity in the first place. On google most mentions referred to superconductivity. I was wondering whether it was only possible with superconducting cavitites.

But doesn't the pumping in a radio wave that matches the resonance frequency amplify the radio wave? As far as I know, the resonance frequency is supposed to be a key part of the system. How would you calculate the resonance frequency of the cavity and find out what that optimal resonance...

As far as I understand the radio waves get amplified by the resonance of the cavity which somehow accelerates the ions. What I am asking is what does superconductivity do, how is the resonance calculated, and how resonance can accelerate ions. Thanks for your time.

So, I've been really interested in Particle Physics since 6th grade when I did a project on particle accelerators. I understand most of it, except for one thing, the radio frequency cavities which are used for acceleration. I just want to ask, how do the Superconducting Radio Frequency Cavities...

Ok. Thank you.

So the positive charge of a proton would mean the magnetic field is just ##\vec{v} \times \vec{r}##?

If an electron is moving in a circle in a magnetic field, it produces a magnetic field in accordance to the right hand rule. If a proton is moving in a circle in a magnetic field, would it produce a magnetic field in accordance to the left hand equivalent to the right hand rule.

Then what about the sciences. I plan of taking AP Calc BC, and all the Science APs except Earth and Environmental. I haven't found a good recommendation because my searches lead to a list of books for each AP which doesn't really help decision making.

AP is Advanced Placement Classes.

I plan on taking a multitude of AP classes next year. I would like some books that I should buy for good study.

Thanks a lot!

I am reading through a textbook on AP Physics, and I came across a few references to non-inertial frames of reference. It doesn't clearly say what a non-inertial frame of reference is. Based on the examples it gives, I assume that it is a frame of reference where the observer is experiencing...

Also, the wave function contains all the information but with ambiguity mixed in, right? Like it will tell you the the probability of a certain velocity, position, momentum, etc, right? So how would you calculate the wave function?
