Undergrad What is an optically active electron?
"Turn on the power supply to the cadmium lamp. Allow 5 minutes for the red cadmium line to be sufficiently intense" https://www.physics.nus.edu.sg/~L3000/Level3manuals/zeeman%20effect.pdf From your question: "trying to understand the Zeeman effect in a Cadmium atom, for which all electrons in...- gr71cj5

High School Quantum Teleportation Question from a Curious 10 year old
Q: How do the scientists actually entangle the particles. A: The particles are already entangled. It is a condition of their physical existence in nature. The scientists do no invoke this condition. Q: How does zapping the entangled sending particle with a laser actually set it off to teleport...- gr71cj5

Undergrad Can angular momentum be applied to non circular rotations?
They taught you using a circle since it is the easiest to visualize and grasp the concepts. Just like in entry level physics when they have you calculate aspects of a ball rolling down an incline they do not include atmospheric resistance, surface frictions between the two items, or atomic...- gr71cj5

Undergrad A perfectly stiff wheel cannot roll on a stiff floor?
Envision: High tinsel steel ball bearing, High tinsel steel plate, no deformation of either will occur, however, apply any force to the bearing either directly (even with a simple magnet to avoid physical contact) or by tilting the metal plate (imposing gravity) and it will roll quite well. No... -
