Undergrad What differentiates thermal and sound energy?
OK so sound is caused when all the atoms/molecules making up an object vibrate at the same amount with the same energy. An example would be a metal spoon being hit with another metal spoon, making a sound which sends off a frequency to our ears. Heat is caused by random vibrations, which means...- smartypants123

Undergrad What differentiates thermal and sound energy?
So i learned that sound energy is when molecules vibrate and resonate at a certain frequency, and those frequencies vibrate other atoms all the way to our ears. And I also learned that thermal energy is also the vibration of molecules, and the hotter a substance is, the more it vibrates. So if...- smartypants123

Undergrad What differentiates thermal and sound energy?
Since thermal energy is the vibration of molecules and sound is too, what is the difference? And why exactly do atoms radiate different energies as a result of vibrations?- smartypants123

Undergrad What is an electrostatic/Coulomb barrier? How is it created?
Well that kinda gives me a new question: I'm assuming this electromagnetic field applies to magnets as well, so why is it that I can touch two magnets that repel each other and break the electrostatic field but for the nuclear fusion particles it wouldn't be so easy? Why is the electrostatic...- smartypants123

Undergrad What is an electrostatic/Coulomb barrier? How is it created?
I learned that for nuclear fusion to take place, particles must overcome the electrostatic field but what exactly is it? And how is it created/formed?- smartypants123

Undergrad What is the Significance of Isospin Components in Particle Physics?
Update: I just found out that isospin has some relation to 'strong interaction' (but i still don't know what isospin is) so maybe in your reply you could sort of explain that- smartypants123

Undergrad What is the Significance of Isospin Components in Particle Physics?
Over lots of studying on particle physics, i came across all kinds of different types of spins, like isospin, spin, weak isospin, and i even learned that there are 3 components for each isospin. Can someone tell me why we need these things and what is special about each component of weak isospin...- smartypants123

Help with understanding programming
I am a very, VERY experienced programmer, as i programed in khan academy, scratch, code academy, and used android studio for programming robots in real life. However, i am very interested in programming A.I's and i learned a lot about that on codeacademy. My question is, what type of program do...- smartypants123
