I got a problem by finding an proper explanation.
The Boltzmann factor is defined as
P_j=\frac{1}{Z}e^{-\beta E_j}
I know, this is a probability distribution. but what exactly does it mean?
Wikipedia says: "The probability Pj that the system occupies microstate j" (link)
But that doesen...
Thanks brewnog.
This means, the maxwell equations are valid for light-waves too; ok, that's not very surprising for me. But that an x-ray could be described as a photon stream is very interesting.
Hi
What is the difference between light (photons) and electromagnetic waves (eg radio waves)?
According to some tables (like this ) the only difference is its wave length. But to me this doesen't make sense! i learned, that a photon just acts like a wave. furthermore a photon has got a mass...
