    Using TeX to write Scientific reports

    Hi sorry, I need a header (i.e. my name and student ID) on the front page as it is part of the submission guidelines set by my University, and how exactly do I use this 'revtex4'? The only thing I want to be the same as in the example really is the columns, figures etc. To adhere to my...

    Using TeX to write Scientific reports

    Homework Statement Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum (or even the wrong forum!) but I'm a second year undergraduate physics student, trying to use TeX to write a lap report for the first time (I've previously been using MS Word). Basically before I start writing the actual...

    Quantum Phenomena question: Estimating Lifetime of Unstable Particle

    Hi, I used the value p/m for the mass as I assumed this would represent the ratio of the uncertainty of the mass to the actual mass of particle. When I divide through by (p/m)c^2 (In the Heisenberg equation) doesn't the m go to the top? Or have I got my relationship between p and m wrong, should...

    Quantum Phenomena question: Estimating Lifetime of Unstable Particle

    Ok so I now have the equation \Delta t \Delta E = \hbar I have used the equation E = mc^2 and substituted the values into the Heisenberg equation to get: \Delta t = hm/(2 \pi c^2 p) However mastering physics is saying that this answer is incorrect :(

    Quantum Phenomena question: Estimating Lifetime of Unstable Particle

    Ok I will take on board what you have said and I will try and solve this problem. I did not know that the uncertainty principal could be related to time and energy. Thank you for your help :)
