I understand how to compute a Chi-squared test, but I'm a bit confused about the wording of parts a) and c). Could someone possibly simplify it for...
Homework Statement
Consider the wave described by:
E= 3 sin [pi (x/c - t)*10^13+ pi/6]
True or false?
34. The frequency = 10E13 Hz.
35. The wavelength = 3E-6 m.
36. The direction of motion: positive x direction.
37. The speed = 300 000 km/s.
38. The maximum amplitude = 9...
Thanks for the help, ehild!
I've found a formula in my notes for resultant amplitude of 2 waves: (A3)^2 = (A1)^2 + (A2)^2 + 2(A1)(A2)cos(δ)
So using this, I get an (A3)^2 of 34, which I suppose is the relative Intensity. Not sure how I should answer this on the question though, I haven't...
I'm getting so confused about this question, any help would be great. :)
Homework Statement
Two infinite waves Ψ1, Ψ2 have the same wavelength and polarisation and have amplitudes of E1 = 3 and E2 = 7 units. They are added together with a phase difference of 125 degrees.

Homework Statement
This is a question on a past paper of a second-year undergraduate physics paper.
A parallel plate capacitor is charged and the voltage increases at a rate of dV/dt. The plate radius is R and the distance between the plates is d.
(a) What is the electric field...
Homework Statement
For the following subset W of R3 determine whether or not W is a subspace of R3. If the subset is not a subspace give a specific example to indicate why it is not a subspace.
ii.) W = {(x,y,z): 2x + y + 3z = 0

I think Graphite is a Van der Waals' Solid and, er, salt would be an ionic.
But I really don't have much of a clue about what the second part is going on about!
Thanks! :)
I see.. So one (the first term?) is due to the attractive force from one ion, and vice versa for the other? So c is going to end up being something which looks like electric potential should. So is the point of equilibrium the point between the ions where the first term= the second term?
Hi, I am having trouble with the following:
All I have really done is differentiate the function to give an expression for F(r), but I am a bit clueless about the rest. How can there be equilibrium if the two ions are attracted to each other?
Cheers,

Hi.
Although this is a rather non-sensicle question, I believe it is one that Einstein posed to his teacher when he was at school: What would the Earth look like to someone who had 'hitched a lift' towards the Earth on the back of a photon?
In the frame of reference of the light traveller...
