I put them both positive first and then i changed it, i think I am thinking in the one dimension so I am seeing the second photon in negative y quadrant, but looking in the x,y,z plane i think it would be positive, the signs r what i am most unsure of, is the rest correct?

I was finding the magnitude, sorry got confused, would it simply be pcosa for x -psina for y

x component = (psina)^2 y component=(pcosa)^2

they are my initial vectors that i came up with, but i changed theta 2 into 180 because it is in the rest frame and also expressed E2 in E1 since in the rest frame they are equal but opposite, am i completely off the track here? or am i getting close... :S

oo ok can u check if my new vectors are correct please? photon 1= (E1 sina, E1 cos a , 0 , E1) Photon 2= (-E2 sinθ2 , -E2 cos θ2 , 0 , E2) = (0,E1,0,-E1) using E1+E2=0 and since they are photons E=p are these right, especially the signs?

O ok so the equation would be I=Iosin^2((π/λ)asinθ-∅)/ ((π/λ)asinθ-∅)^2 it gives a hint to consider the intensity halfway between the peaks of the two images so i did ((π/λ)asin(θ-∅)) = ∏/2 but where do i put the intensity change of 0.2% to get (θ-∅) = 0.00015?

ok thanks alot

Assume that an orca can generate a wavepacket which is half a sine wave. Show that the kinetic energy density in this wave can be written U= ρgAλ/(32(π^2)) 2. Homework Equations mass per unit length=∫ρ dxdy KE=1/2mv^2 3. The Attempt at a Solution I'm confused on what to use...

sorry the angle is meant to be cos θ = β^2-1+β^2sin^2a / 1-β^2cos^2a I forgot the β in the first part of the fraction..

ok so if i didn't sub in the values my vectors would be in the rest frame: Photon 1 = (E1 sina, E1 cos a , 0 , E1) Photon 2 = (-E2 sinθ , -E2 cos θ , 0 , E2) a and θ is what they've asked for in the question, so to get the lab frame i use the lorentz transformation but i then have to...

Ok, thanks :)
