Undergrad Does pair production violate charge conservation in 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...- manimaran1605

Graduate How does the twin paradox work if both observers see the other's clock slow?
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...- manimaran1605

Graduate 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...- manimaran1605

Graduate 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?- manimaran1605

Graduate Why does light have a π phase change after traveling 2nd in a material?
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...- manimaran1605
