Charged pion reaching lake bottom with given lifetime and mean free path
in pion's system from this results we conclude that is going to decay before it reach the bottom. This 1/7 you say its the problem. But given the average free path in the water ,i think i need to calculate some probability. For example if i had a beam with $$N_0$$ pions, given the average path...- tasos

Charged pion reaching lake bottom with given lifetime and mean free path
Homework Statement Charged pion with average life time $$\tau=10^{-8} sec$$, and mean free path in the water$$\ell=100m$$ falls prependicular to a lake (depth of lake is at $$\ell_0 =30m$$ with velocity $$V=0.9999c$$ What of the next is correct? 1). The particle isn't gona touch the bottom of...- tasos

How Do You Determine the Best Value of β in L-S Coupling?
Ok sorry. So here the energy interval between adjacent J levels is $$ΔE_{FS}= E_J -E_{J-1}= \beta J$$So for J=4 we have $$ ΔE_{FS}= E_4 -E_{3} = 4 \beta $$ so here $$ \beta =42,75 cm^−1$$ and for J=3 we have $$ΔE_{FS}= E_3 -E_{2} = 3 \beta$$ so here $$ \beta =72 cm^−1$$ANd if I am correctly...- tasos

How Do You Determine the Best Value of β in L-S Coupling?
Homework Statement [/B] We have that the three lowest energy states of a system are $$ ^3F_2, ^3F_3, ^3F_4 $$ (these are the Term symbols) with relative energy gap $$0,\ 171,\ 387 \ cm^{-1}$$ Now using the perturbation $$H_{LS}=\beta \ \vec{L}\cdot \vec{S}$$ i have to find the best value of...- tasos

Given HamiltonianFind eigenvalues and eigenfunctions
Also I've seen a lot of exercises with angular momentum that we use\hat{n}l But in general case with no given value of l i can't see how i can work this out.- tasos

Given HamiltonianFind eigenvalues and eigenfunctions
if we use the Hamitlonian operator on the YLM basis we get \hat{H}|Y_l^m> = \dfrac{b}{a}(1-i)l_+ + \dfrac{b}{2}(1+i)l_- + al_z(l_z + \dfrac{b}{a} )|Y_l^m> = c_-\dfrac{b}{a}(1-i) Y_l^(m+1) +c_+\dfrac{b}{a}(1+i) Y_l^(m-1) + (a\hbar m^2 + b\hbar m)Y_l^m So i sould demand that the Y_l^(m-1)...- tasos

Given HamiltonianFind eigenvalues and eigenfunctions
new calculations showed that [\mathcal{L}^2,\mathcal{L}_+]\neq0 does not commute, so i don't see how this process can help. Vela i don't understand. Whats the method you are saying i must follow.- tasos
