I have been looking at this for a while, and think I might have a handle of it but would like some opinions... So, if the electron in the 3p state 'relaxes' and drops to say, the n=1,2 level, am I right in thinking that the electron configuration of the electron is... 1) If it relaxes to the...

Hello everyone, hope you are all well. I would like to ask a simple spectroscopy question please. "An electron has been excited from the ground state to the 3p state. Find the orbital angular momentum of the electron" This is my interpritation of the question, 3p means n=3 thus...

Thanks for the help guys. The laser detection looks like a really good way of doing it. A big part of the problem is determining if resonance has been reached in such a small object. I don't suppose you can remember what meterial you were woking with which had a resonance of 10kHz? R

"possible application" I am starting with isotropic structures and then refining my model and mathematical modeling [with FEMLAB finite element analysis software] to biological matter with near isotropic shell structure. r thanks for the feelback so far guys, esp the pdf!

The roots of my question are thus; 1) I am doing a 3rd year project on mechanical resonance in millimetric objects with possible application to insect resonance as a method of pest control. I don't think that finding resonance in bio matter will be easy, however, the insect in question has a...

I was under the impression that dimentions of the object will determine the resonant frequency. Such that, if a piece of glass is in resonance, and you then shorten the piece of glass it will no longer be in resonance. I think this is demonstarted by SAW waves on piezo electric substrates [ie...

Hello everyone! First post here! I have quite a specific question. I am investigating resonant frequency of biological matter with dimensions of about 1mm cubed. What I would like to know is... 1) does anyone know of any good journals which look into resonant frequencies of small...
