First of all, I guess classifying particles as excitations of fields stem from the fact that fields can be decomposed into plane waves which are particles in some sense and since they are infinite we have infinitely many of them. Like, any continious electric field can be decomposed into plane...

Thanks everyone.

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from...

Thanks for the responses.

Can anyone recommend books on artificial photosynthesis?

Yes I have. Thanks. Since I am still an undergrad, I don't have experience on reading journal but I will give it a try.

Can you recommend me a source to self study computational materials science? I am currently doing an internship and want to study in my spare time for materials science. I will take a course named computational methods in materials science but I want to learn it earlier than that but I can't...

Whenever I touch to a doorknob or any other metallic object I get electrically shocked. Does this occur because of temperature difference between me and the metal? Is it similar to seebeck effect?

Only 2 is correct. 1)Since P is moving downward the wave is going to right as p approaches to right. 2)Yes, since R has a longer way to go. 3) Both are going to right.

I got a B- in thermodynamics due to getting 0 in exam for calculation errors or using moles instead of atom numbers and making a unit error. Anyways, I will take Modern Physics next semester and wonder if that's a harder course and if it is then it will be a good punishment for him to watch me...

How hard is it compared to undergraduate thermodynamics? Is it harder or easier?

Maybe starlink isn't there for WiFi but for gaining energy from it's orbit around the earth. But this would make Earth approach to the sun.

Thanks
