How do you cope with not being able to solve a problem?
You know it's funny, that happens me a lot. I wouldn't say I was the most bright student of Physics, but I just keep at it. Eventually the penny drops. Hey, if Physics was easy then everybody would be doing it! Oh yea, the secret to doing problems in Phys....read read read and read the textbook...- ronaldoshaky

Rounding for 10% Error: (106 +/- 11) k^2 Hz^2?
Homework Statement the frequency squared is 106.01 k^2 Hz^2. The percentage error is 10 %. How do you quote the quantity Homework Equations I said (106.0 +/- 10.6) k^2 Hz^2 My question is rounding to (106 +/- 11) k^2 Hz^2 wrong? 11 k^2 Hz^2 seems to be more than 10 per cent. Thanks The...- ronaldoshaky

Graduate Find the critical temperature of a bismuth based ceramic
Hello to all I recently completed an experiment trying to find the critical temperature of a bismuth based ceramic material. I cooled the sample using liquid nitrogen. I have attached my results in an excel file, where I had to plot the sample voltage (Vs) against thermocouple voltage(Vt). My...- ronaldoshaky

Undergrad Zero Resistivity in superconductors
There is no resistance, so currents will flow indefinitely. The cause is lowering the superconductor below its critical temperature (T_c). Usually liquid helium or nitrogen is used to cool a superconductor below T_c.- ronaldoshaky

Graduate Do Photons Have Mass and How Does It Relate to Gravitational Lensing?
Thanks for the direct. I have another q. How does gravity warp spacetime? Space is a vacuum, right? Does gravity manipulate a vacuum?- ronaldoshaky

MATLAB Numerical Methods (Java vs Matlab)
My reason for asking was, well, I already have learned to program in Java. But I was doing a course in shell scripting with Unix, and I found that when I left Java for a while and then went back to programming in Java I found it difficult to get back into thinking in Java. I don't want to start...- ronaldoshaky

MATLAB Numerical Methods (Java vs Matlab)
Hello to all I've been wondering about the skills needed for doing a research degree. I've been looking at the Matlab language recently and it seems somewhat similar to Java. Is Java just as easy to use as Matlab for doing numerical methods? I'd be interested in hearing your views. Thank you...- ronaldoshaky

Programs Math Major: Is There a Way Around Difficult Visualization?
man why do i feel like this when I study quantum physics. like what the hell is the square of the orbital angular momentum anyway...how do you visualise it.- ronaldoshaky

Why is physics so frustrating for me?
I was stuck on a peturbation theory question the other day. stuck on the bloody integration. i thought physics was frustrating then. but i stuck at it and solved the problem. maybe you just need a better tutor- ronaldoshaky

Tackling Tricky Integration Homework
Homework Statement E = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 a_0^3 } \left( - b \int_0^b e^{- \frac{2r}{a_0}} dr + \int_0^b r e^{- \frac{2r}{a_0}} dr \right) I have to use these integrals, \int_0^x e^{-u} du = 1 - e^{-x} and \int_0^x u e^{-u} du = 1 - e^{-x} - xe^{-x} I get:The Attempt at a Solution...- ronaldoshaky
