Here is a home assignment, I don't want it to be solved, just help understand what the teacher is after in one specific part. I looked in the course litterature and searched the web and couldn't find anything relevant.
calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a certain matrix which I...
thnx that helped alot. Let me see if I got this right: Eigenvalues are the observables and the eigenvectors are the states of the system. what would degenerate spectrum mean physically.
thnx
I borrow this thread to ask a question that is similar to this one.
What does it mean that an operator has a degenarate spectrum and how can we see that if the operator is represented by a matrix. Thanx a lot and I hope I'm not stepping on anybodys toe by using this thread.
the reason why I'm asking where u from is that I want to know if there is a difference between different countries. I for instance live in sweden and here the major companies first and foremost employes engineers rather then physicists.
I was watching a movie talking about the hydrogen atom and the study of spectrum from hydrogen gas when a question poped into my head. How can we know the frequency of light from observing its colour? Please give example of experiments done to confirm that.
Thank you all in advance
Don't missunderstand me, I love physics and don't have any doubts about it. I also love the good life, which I've missed out on for so long. Havings depts and counting coins is not something I can just wave away. So that's why I'm wandering if a physicist can have an interesting job at a company...
let me see if I got this one right:
By solving the S E for bound system u got the quantum number n l and ml. each set of numbers corresponds to a curtain wave function and electron. One gots fine structure when adding the spin up 1/2 and down 1/2. so every electron in the atom has a set of...
I'm not saying that angels and gods were walking the Earth then and now nor am I saying that they are not. Scientists laugh about the idea, still we are capable of accepting the fact that everything is made of string of the 10 to the power of -34 and it vibrates on different levels of existence...
I would never make the misstake of arguing that nothing is real, if that would the fact then there is no point in discussing anything, cause nothing would be real.
And the philosophy you are referring to I have no clue. I've been thinking about the double split experiment. I'm not the one...
