In simple terms, Two coherent waves (or one wave that has been reflected back upon its self), interact and under go constructive and destructive superposition. At points where the amplitudes are completely opposite (http://leiferlingsson.files.lege.net/2008/07/standing_waves_400x300.jpg) the...

sorry i meant to say 'i find that this answers a lot of questions'*

Photons are particles of light that have wave like properties, in some ways like the electron. Photons are mass-less particles that have a certain amount of energy (dependent on what frequency of light it is), and can interact via collisions with atoms etc and transfer this energy just like a...

I attempted this method and received reasonable answers of a complex conjugate pair and two real roots. However you obviously cannot ln a negative number which reduces the outcome to three possibilities. Once divided buy the -0.5, ending up with y=0.0677, 0.008-∏i and -13.807+∏i

@collinsmark Many thanks for you reply and also understanding the question unlike some :)

The Aperture is different for every telescope depending on what radiation it is gathering, i kneed to know an aperture for a telescope gathering ISO Far-infrared radiation.

The aperture (light/radiation gathering area in meter squared) of a telescope collecting ISO Far-infrared radiation :)

a bit random to this but could any of you give me an example aperture for a telescope collecting ISO far-infrared radiation. (to assist a theory about Andromeda)

[FONT="Book Antiqua"]What I believe it means is that for life as we have on Earth currently to flourish we require to have a relatively stable axial tilt. As life on this planet has had no 'experience' of and has had no chance to evolve to cope with the more extreme forces that would be exerted...
