    Light angles measured in a moving reference frame

    I've managed to get through all of this question without trouble until part d). The full question is given here: I've calculated the "true" angles of Star A and Star B as 71.57 degrees and 45 degrees respectively in Frame S, and the "light" angles should be the same, since the stars are...

    Deriving values from experimental data (algebra help)

    One more question - I'm working on a problem in which I need to determine the values of R and p in the equation: {E_{B} = -RZ^{2}n^{p}} Where Z is 1 (we're using a hydrogen atom), and n is the principle quantum number of the electron. I know p is 2, but the point of the exercise is the...
