Thank you!

Interesting, I have studied Hamiltonian mechanics a bit, as in I do know how to apply hamiltonian dynamics for the equation of motion. However, some of the derivations at the time were a bit hard to follow and the terms here I do recognize but it seems we never went to deep into it. Thank you...

Hi, I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly it means to be quantized. I know that electromagnetic radiation is quantized, and that means coming in little "packages" of energy, I can't really wrap my head around this, and would like if someone could explain this a better way maybe...

Ah gotcha, so I want to see if I understand it. If f' is the source and f is the receiver. Say a car is approaching past you (at a speed close to light haha) the source being the car, as it approaches the WAVELENGTH is getting smaller hence the frequency increases, so we have f' = f \left(...

Hey thanks for the reply! Sorry about that it should be 1/2, what I was trying to say is not that it's negative but when the signs are -/+ it means the source is moving apart from the receiver and when the signs are switched the source is going towards the receiver, where f' is the source and f...

[mentor's note - lightly edited to fix the Latex] Hi there, I was hoping if someone could clear my small misconception for this equation. f' = f \left( \frac{ 1- \beta }{ 1+\beta } \right)^2 I had thought if the numerator is negative and denominator is positive that means the signal of light...
