    Graduate Polar integration - Length and Area of curve

    but i am treating every length element of the curve as a part of a circle of appropriate radius. so i am treating the curve as a conglomerate of numerous circular elements just in the area derivation.

    Graduate Polar integration - Length and Area of curve

    but where is the derivation of the length of curve wrong?

    Graduate Polar integration - Length and Area of curve

    The area of a polar curve is given by A=(1/2)∫ r2 d (theta). this can be interpreted as δA= ∏r2δ(theta)/2∏ (treating the area element as the area of a sector of a circle with angle δ(theta).) taking limit of δ(theta)→0, dA= ∏r2 d(theta)/2∏=1/2 (r2d(theta) ) there fore A=1/2∫r2 d(theta)...

    Graduate Doesnt information travel faster than light in case of black holes?

    so what is the explanation or correct thought process for this?

    Graduate Doesnt information travel faster than light in case of black holes?

    hi, i was wondering, for a black hole, as everyone knows,the escape velocity is greater than light. this means that the information about the existence of the black hole in terms of light never reaches the observer. so if the black hole were the cease to exist at an instant of time, the...

    Graduate Does Light Lose Energy and Change Frequency Due to Gravitational Waves?

    hi, since light is energy moving through the fabric of space time at velocity c , it should lose energy due to gravitational waves. doesn't this mean that the light from a distant galaxy would keep decreasing in frequency? further more this would imply that light that was originally emitted as...

    Graduate Quantum double slit experiment

    the double slit experiment highlights the wave-particle duality. at the time of creation and annihilation,the particle behaves as a particle.and in between as a wave.so the after creation,the particle travels as a wave and since there are two possibles paths(two slits) the wave (and wave...

    Graduate Why is the speed of light a universal constant beyond Maxwell's equations?

    hi all, this is a very basic question. apart from maxwell's equation, why else is the speed of light a universal constant?

    Stopping Time: Methods and Possibilities

    there are two ways time can be stopped. 1>at the speed of light: using einstein's formula, if v=c then denominator becomes 0.so naturally time stops. this explains the immense stability of photons despite their high energy density. 2>at a region of high gravitational force such as within the...

    Undergrad What orbital pattern occurs when two bodies of equal mass orbit each other?

    the bodies will revolve around the common center of gravity.

    Graduate High Potential Batteries: Is Stripping Multiple Electrons the Key?

    in my opinion theoretically the battery would be possible but highly unstable due to the high + charge on the atoms.also removing so many electrons isn't a joke.

    Graduate Scale of uncertainty principle

    in what scale can we consider the uncertainty principle?can it be considered in the non atomic scale?

    High School Why does the direction of light change during refraction if the speed

    why does the direction of light change during refraction if the speed changes?how are speed and direction related?
