    B Why doesn't the normal Zeeman effect produce a band?

    I know that orbital angular momentum is quantized. If the potential energy is developed because of the external magnetic field applying a torque on the magnetic dipole, then from the dot product of the dipole moment and magnetic field we have a cosine term, shouldn't this give rise to all the...

    Is the quantum world truly random?

    If the quantum events are truly random we are still watching things play out still without any possibility of 'us' influencing the future.The only way the future would then be influenced is by the occurance of purely random events on which we humans or anything else in the universe cannot have...

    How does an electron decide when to de-excite?

    do you mean random?

    How does an electron decide when to de-excite?

    after an electron is excited to a higher energy orbit ,when exactly does it go back to some of the lower energy orbits?

    What Is Psi in Quantum Mechanics?

    I just started reading the quantum theory.I came across the wave particle duality experiments and just after that the book had the Schrödinger equation.I don't understand what psi is exactly in that equation and what a wave function is and how it differs from a wave equation mathematically.can...

    Circular Motion Homework: Tension & Min. Speed

    Your attempt at the first bit of the question is correct. In the second bit of the question you considered the top most point of the vertical circle to be the point where tension is zero but as the mass is attached to a flexible chord the tension becomes zero before the ball reaches to the top...

    Can Complex Numbers be Compared Using Greater-Than and Less-Than Relations?

    Are the less than (<) and greater than(>) relations applicable among complex numbers? By complex numbers I don't mean their modulus, I mean just the raw complex numbers.

    Moving along a current carrying conductor

    What will happen if I move in the direction of drift of the electrons in a current carrying conductor? What would happen if my speeds are equal to the drift velocity and in a second case close to the speed of light

    What factors determine the strength of a covalent bond

    I want to know what factors influence the bond enthalpy of a covalent bond and how do those factors influence the bond strength.

    Potential energy of proton vs neutron

    Consider an atom having multiple protons and neutrons in its nucleus, which of the two nucleons will have higher magnitude of potential energy?
  11. Q

    Why is there force on a current carrying conductor?

    I know that charges experience a force when they are moving with respect to a magnetic field , but in case of conductor how is the force on the freely flowing electrons transferred to the structure of the conductor?

    Race of Light Rays in Vacuum and Water: Winner or Tie?

    Oh sorry I am a really dumb kid who can make a new thread but can't Google something. I did do it but wasn't satisfied by the results, some places they said that the light ray travels with the absolute velocity but with a phase shift and so I wanted to know if that could result in actual delay...

    Race of Light Rays in Vacuum and Water: Winner or Tie?

    Imagine two light rays parallel to each other , one of them is traveling in vacuum and the other one in water. We place a detector at the same distance from the source and fire the two rays inside their respective media.who will win the race? Or is it possible to have a tie in the competition?
  14. Q

    Alternative clutch technologies?

    I get that there isn't any other clutch technology out there which can be used in cars.Can anyone give ideas for new clutch technologies?
  15. Q

    Alternative clutch technologies?

    I am searching for a more efficient way of transmission in internal combustion engine cars.
