    Graduate Refractive index(n(ω)) calculation: Kramers-Kronig relations

    That is the kind of stuff I get paid for. :) Can't just give out all the details of the program for free.

    Graduate Does radioactivity suffer time dilation?

    Exactly, what does "experience time" even mean for any elementary particle? I doubt we can give it a meaning, after all it's just a theoretical picture that uses particles to realize forces.

    Graduate Does radioactivity suffer time dilation?

    I think I was wrong to make a distinction, I realize now, 'coz the weak and the strong nuclear forces are both time dilated. That means that they will indeed decay slower as the strong nuclear force is involved?

    Graduate Does radioactivity suffer time dilation?

    I want to know that if one sends a radioactive material in a spaceship at high speed and bring it back, do we find that the radioactive material has decayed slower than it would on Earth or the same rate? As radioactivity doesn't depend on the Coulombic interaction (photons), rather other...

    Graduate Refractive index(n(ω)) calculation: Kramers-Kronig relations

    You need to look at the Fourier transform method to evaluate hilbert transforms, as the Kronig Kramers transform is nothing but the Hilbert transform. Look it up. There's also a MATLAB function 'hilbert' for hilbert transform of discrete data. I have used it myself and it works pretty well

    Graduate How is it we know the speed of light?

    it doesn't matter as long as the mirrors and the source/observer are stationary relative to each other. peace

    Graduate How is it we know the speed of light?

    I really did not read your entire post, its more like a rant than science, as for measuring the speed of light, you could easily measure time time light takes to reflect from a mirror and get back to the source, and using the distance between the reflector and source, find the speed of light...

    Undergrad Refractive index equation help

    could you also tell the formula for reflectivity/transmittivity for a material with complex refractive index, also it would be awesome if you had any references

    High School Why electronics do not use AC.

    Maybe some rectifiers do work on high reverse voltages, but I am pretty certain that the fast response ones, used in processors sure don't withstand those voltages

    Graduate Kramer Kronigs applicable in what situations

    Thanks for your reply, you maybe right, but its just not so clear to me, I wish to be able to read more about the application of Kramers Kronig I would really appreciate if you could give me something more solid, maybe a reference?

    Graduate Kramer Kronigs applicable in what situations

    Thanks a lot for your replies. Ya, I understand its a consequence of causality and it is same as a hilber transform, but again my question was, how do I recognize the exact parameters to which the relations can be applied, for eg. if its applicable to the the real and imaginary part of the...

    High School Why electronics do not use AC.

    Like I said the one in reverse bias will breakdown at high voltage if you had that kind of configuration

    Graduate Help a Physics Student with Two Dim. Oscilator Problem

    In the first part you need to add and subtract terms such that there is no x*y term, or in other words, the equation can be separated into two independent equations, each dependent on only one co-ordinate. So if you can write the equation in a new co-ordinate system a and b, like you have, then...

    High School Problem in determinig Poles of a Solenoid

    Not enough information to answer I feel. Maybe a diagram can help. But you are definitely applying the right hand thumb rule wrong. Reason could be you mixed up the poles of the magnet, identify them correctly, AND make sure you identify the poles of the solenoid correctly, based on the current...

    Undergrad What is the Skin Effect and How Does It Impact Electron Flow in Wires?

    You are totally on the wrong track here. Electric field is zero inside a perfect conductor, never really true practically except in super-conductors and not the reason for electrons being on the periphery. Current travels on the periphery only in AC current, not DC, reason being the penetration...
