I'm like thinking more down to Earth even though weather dynamics on other planets is not a bad idea at all. I might even consider it ! Although it would require lots of modeling and simulations. I was thinking kinda like correlation between sun's activity and weather. I want something that's...

Hello, I'm currently on a BSc Physics course and I need some ideas for my final year project. I'm mostly thinking about Climate and Astronomy or a mixture of both would suit me more. Regards, Jadaav.

Hecht - optics I've been using this book for my optics module at university. So I think it will suit you.

Any more ideas ?

Hello, I need some project ideas for my course in BSc Physics level 2. I need something which is creative and interesting. Anything from fluids, wind... Regards, Jadaav

Thanks Jim. I've taken a look at the second book and it seems to be really interesting. I've found what I was looking for. I'll try to do the programming bit and I'll you know.

Hello there, I want to write a fortran program which gives me the right ascension and declination of the sun and the phase of the moon when a date and time is given. I just want to know how to write it and if there are any references that can help me. Thanks, Jadaav.

Hello, My aim is to build a small reflecting sundial as designed by Sir Isaac Newton. I found from a website that it consists of a ceiling and a small mirror. What I want to know is how it works, the concepts behind it and how to build one. It's for an undergraduate project that I've got...

I've read through all the debates and I should say that I've learned quite a few things from you guys. How does an inductor stores energy in its magnetic field ? Also how does the inductor decreases the energy losses ?

My question is why is the energy stored in a capacitance equals to half the energy supplied by the battery. I already know that there is heat loss in wires. But what I really want to know is that why is it only half of it ? It could have been any other fraction.

OK thanks. I'll start working on it.

Actually I was thinking about the substitution. But I have one question; an exponential function is not linear. So if I use substitution does it become a linear one ?

Homework Statement \int[( e^x + 4 )/ (4e^x + 1) ]^2 Homework Equations No substitutions have been given. The Attempt at a Solution I've tried using the method of f' (x)/f (x). But it was in vain. I haven't been able to do it. I don't really know where to start.

Thanks to both of you. :) Keeping volume and pressure constant, Q = ΔU. But what's there to describe about the internal energy ?

I had a question : Heat energy was supplied to melt ice at -15 degree Celsius. But it was not enough to turn the ice completely into water at 0 degrees. From my calculation I obtained that a mixture of 60% water and 40% ice was produced as a result of heating. Finally it said to describe...
