Graduate Need a place to find nuclear data
Hey thanks, can the hyperfine splitting for different nuclei also be found on this site? For example if I wanted to find the Hyperfine splitting of Cobalt 57, I figure bnl would have all of this... thanks a bunch- vuser88

Graduate Need a place to find nuclear data
Hello Im working on a project and I am looking for a place to find nuclear data. For example I'm Interested in Ferromagnetic substances in which the nuclear decay decreases by unit through Electron Capture Is there a place where i could sort data like this? Any info would be appreciated- vuser88

Place to learn mathematics of qm
hello there, i need a place or a book where i can learn the mathematics of QM. I am having trouble with linear operators and matrix formulation. Like how do you represent an operator? How can one jump between operators and then back to matrix formulation. I NEED THE BASICS! Thanks!- vuser88

Undergrad Potential Energy question Confusion on the sign
This dosent make sense to me. i didn't change the problem i just flipped it b.c it was more convenient i don't understand why its different now. instead of one Mass 1 PE increasing, it decreases. and instead of Mass 2 PE decreasing, it increases. i don't know anything anymore... -

Undergrad Potential Energy question Confusion on the sign
Here is my question. For example if i am standing on top of the empire state building and i define that to be height=0 and i define the downward direction to be positive. if i drop a mass does its potential energy increase based on my definition of direction? My actual problem was an exam... -

Bending of light in a uniform gravitational field
We didnt talk about metrics bc the class is supposed to not cover and mathematics of GR. Should i assume a metric. How would i go about solving it then if i shouldn't use Newtons method...- vuser88

Bending of light in a uniform gravitational field
Homework Statement This is supposed to be a simple problem that shows that light bends or gets pulled in a gravitational field. A light pulse emitted in the positive x direction travels 10 s in a uniform gravitational field of 100 m/s^2. the gravitational field points in the negative y...- vuser88

Graduate Derivative of the partition function Help
i need to show that the average value of the energy is -(1/Z)(dZ/dBeta)= -(d/dBeta)Ln(Z) where Z is the partition function i know how to do the first part, i don't know how to show this is equal to the derivative w/ respect to beta of lnZ. i think my math is wrong when taking Ln(Z) Beta =...- vuser88
