Is the fusion of words wave and particle, proposed by a physician several decades ago, when standard .model wasn't developed.

Thanks

What happened to the wavelet?

OP immediately wanted to delete the post when he noticed the error and couldn't find the delete option.

How does the concept of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics evolve when you move to quantum field theory?

Ok, agree. Thank you very much.

I don't find any correlation with the physical situation in that statement about the means. It seems like an empty mathematical game to me.

I think the following: Although mathematically it coincides, interpreting the contraction factor as the quotient of two means may not fit the physical nature of the phenomenon.

Is it correct to state that the relativistic contraction factor is the ratio of the geometric mean to the arithmetic mean of the terms ##C+v## and ##C-v##?

Thank you very much. Best regards.

Is it correct to state that the relativistic contraction factor is the ratio of the geometric mean to the arithmetic mean of the terms C and v?

Thanks to the persons which help me. Best regards.

At each vertex of a square, there is a mirror with its plane perpendicular to the diagonal containing the vertex. The reflecting side faces the center of the square. A beam of light is successively reflected off each of the mirrors, such that it travels around a square circuit. Each time it...

Quantum energy without frequency nor wavelength? Good bye $$E=h.\nu$$ ?

OK. Same question in terms of frequency. Should it be on the order of atomic frequencies or on the order of lower frequencies?
