I'm currently doing a spectroscopy lab where you use a scintillator and Cs-137 to obtain a Cs-137 spectrum. I calibrated this spectrum using the known gamma energy for Cs-137 at 662 Kev at the photo peak. I am now trying to use this calibration for a Co-60 spectrum. The problem is that when I...

I think what formal education provides that self study cannot is several clear examples of a concept. For example I find myself struggling through the textbooks once its time to actually solve a problem, I can read through the text and work through the examples, but its presented from one...

Homework Statement This is Problem 12.5 in Blundell's Thermal Physics book. Two Thermally insulated cylinders, A and B, of equal volume, both equipped with pistons, are connected by a valve. Initially A has its piston fully withdrawn and contains a perfect monatomic gas at temperature T...
