    How much money do Physicists make?

    I'm going through the same thing as the guy who started this thread, except I love physics and the medical field. I'm going in the medical field because of various reasons, but I'm still going to learn about physics on my own. I've already bought various books, like 2 about quantum physics. It's...

    Units for wave vector and other?

    Alright, thank you very much! The units had me all messed up.

    Units for wave vector and other?

    Homework Statement Wave vector = k, what's the unit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle#Robertson.E2.80.93Schr.C3.B6dinger_relation" In that equation, what is the name of the h (modifoed h) and what's it's units? Homework Equations k = p/h (not a normal h) The...

    Undergrad What can you talk about quantum mechanics?

    I think the first choice is what I will go with. I really don't want to talk about the history of things because I have little interest in such things. I'd rather learn about things that are more important and not have a bland presentation on history (it would be for me anyways). I think what...

    Undergrad What can you talk about quantum mechanics?

    Thank you very much Frame Dragger. But the thing is, I want to make my project long enough. I understand quite a lot of things already, too. You're right, though, I'm going for too much. I think I'm just going to pick a few things and talk about those, but later on I'll study the other things...

    Undergrad What can you talk about quantum mechanics?

    Hello, before I explain what I'm talking about, I just want you to know that isn't really a question about a homework. I'm in my last year at high-school and I decided to do a physics project in my class about quantum mechanics. Right now I'm at the point of trying to figure out everything I...
