I need to measure the density of aqueous microdroplets in oil. My first idea was to obtain a set volume of the droplet-in-oil mixture and weigh it to obtain the density, weigh the same volume of oil without droplets, then estimate the volume of the droplets so I can work out their density...
The two X chromosomes are different, correct. However, as you hinted at earlier, there has to be a mechanism to make up for the fact that males have only one X chromosome and females have two. Any one cell in your body only requires one X chromosome to be active, so if females had two active X...
As noted by Drakkith, there are a multitude of factors that make each person distinct from a biological point-of-view. Each cell in your body, whether it be a somatic or sex cell, is different from the same cell types in other individuals for a variety of reasons. First, let's begin with your...
Thanks for the reply! I'm currently looking over the slides in the link. I think I get it, but will just have to read through to make sure. One question, though: by plane polarisation, do you mean circular? Based on what I've just read in the link, won't two perpendicular light vectors with...
Hi,
As the title suggests, I'm not a physicist; but I've found myself working more and more with physicists recently. Getting used to communicating with people whose technical jargon is completely different to my own is proving a challenge, so sorry if my questions on these forums don't seem to...
Hi,
Apologies if this is a really basic question, but I'm not a physicist by training. I was wondering how two waves of plane-polarised light will interfere if they have equal intensity, are completely in phase, but their planes of oscillation are perpendicular to one another?
