    Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics

    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...

    Sources to study computational materials science

    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.

    Sources to study computational materials science

    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...

    I Why Do I Get Electrically Shocked by Metal Objects?

    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?

    Correct statement about transverse wave propagating along a string

    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.

    Is undergraduate modern physics hard?

    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...

    I Starlink and gaining energy from orbiting

    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.

    I Is this proof of cp - cv correct

    cp=(dU/dT)P+P(dv/dT)P cv=(dU/dT)V cp-cv=(dU/dT)P+P(dv/dT)P- (dU/dT)V=(dU/dV)T(dV/dT)P+P(dv/dT)P- (dU/dV)T(dV/dT)V since dV is zero (dU/dV)T(dV/dT)V is zero. Hence cp-cv=(dU/dV)T(dV/dT)P+P(dv/dT)P I expanded both dU/dT and since one of them has no change in volume it is zero. is it acceptable...
