    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

    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

    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!

    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...

    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...

    Bending of light in a uniform gravitational field

    But how would the force help me... I am thinking that this can be treated like a free throw problem... but I am not sure...thnk u

    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...

    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 =...

    Cant understand Centripital acc

    Hello! I am a 3rd year physics student and i hate the way i have been tought physics all my life. Its always mindless mathematics.. It turns out that i have a hard time understand basic concepts b/c my professors would rather go through derivations covering 4 blackboards then explain what's...
