    Charge Conservation & Isolated Systems

    A isolated system in which number of charges present is always constant. Suppose a high energy gamma radiation enters into the isolated system and produces positron and electron (pair production), now the total number of charges present in the system increases right? Then how the charge...

    Twin Paradox Explained: Earth & Space Time Effects

    A person in the Earth (stationery frame) observes the clock in the spaceship (which almost moving at the speed of light) runs slow right? and an astronaut in the space-ship observes the clock in the earth, to him the clock also appears slow the same rate as the person observes the clock in the...

    Understanding Thermodynamic Functions: H, G, and A in Simple Terms

    What are the purposes of defining the Thermodynamic functions such as H (enthalpy), G (Gibbs function), A (Helmholtz function) in Thermodynamics. I just know the expressions for this functions but unable to understand the physical significance of these functions and also haven't understand what...

    Postulates of STR: Light Speed Constant in All Inertial Frames

    The speed of light is constant in all inertial frames of reference Imagine a thought experiment, an observer at rest sending a light pulse towards a spaceship, he measures the speed of light to be 3x10^8 m/s, now assume that the spaceship also travels at the speed of light and an astronaut in...

    Virtual displacement and D'Alembert's principle

    While deriving lagrangian equation using D'Alembert's principle, in Goldstien, they defined a variable called "virtual displacement". Why do we need a concept called virtual displacement? What is its signigicance in classical physics?

    Light's Refractive Index & Phase Change: Explained

    Consider a plane beam of light is falling normally on a material with thickness (d) and refractive index (n), the light partially transmits and partially reflects the light, so the light transmitting the light travels a distance (2nd) coming out of the material have a phase change of ∏ always...

    Exploring How η Depends on Masses M and m

    Homework Statement I have proved that η does not depend on l, but in the solution the author (classical mechanics by David Morin) claimed that η depends on both of the masses M and m, But i don't understand how, please explain me? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution
