Ahhh that makes sense, it's nice to know that kind of thinking is legitimate. Thanks for the help!

It looks like that may be a 45 degree angle to the vertical. Is this involving a trig ratio to find the distance "d" using "L" ?

I really appreciate the input! This really helps to reaffirm my setup for this semester and I'm looking forward to seeing the benefits during the program. Thanks!

I took another look at it and realized I was interpreting the diagram completely wrong after you said that haha. I missed that length "d" was denoted as the distance between the two atoms, not the width of the diagonal like figure b vaguely suggests. Regardless, are "d" and "L" the same...

Hey guys, can't seem to make sense of this question from phys. It goes.. "A crystalline solid consists of atoms stacked up in a repeating lattice structure. Consider a crystal as shown in Figure a. The atoms reside at the corners of cubes of side L = 0.200 nm. One piece of evidence for the...

Thanks! I'm looking forward to exploring some new resources here.

Hello my name is Jay, I recently joined the forums to increase my exposure to physics while I begin a pathway into Mechanical Engineering. I'm currently in some basic courses that should give me a head start come my freshman year this fall, but I wanted to collect some tips/advice. Anything...
