    Trig equation involving multiple angles

    Question Find all the values of ∏ in the interval 0 < θ < 2∏ for which 2cos2 θ – sin θ = 1, giving each answer in terms of ∏ I think the question is asking me to find the values of θ in terms of ∏ for all values between 0 < θ < 2∏ This is what I have done so far I have worked...

    How is the northern lights made?

    Hello, I was just looking up some pictures when I saw a picture of the northern lights. I was told that it was something to do with electricity? What actually happens up there? Thanks

    Why do all particles have a wavelength?

    So for my AS specification I need to know how to use the debroile wavelength equation which is fair enough and easy. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why do all particles have a wavelength or wave function? Or even like a tennis ball? Thanks, PS: I know it's a weird question...

    Internal resistance understanding

    Hello, I'm having difficulty trying to understand internal resistance of any component. I don't understand how exactly the internal resistance affects the current and what exactly is the terminal pd? And for calculating resistance, voltage, pd, emf, current and all those basic things -...

    Understanding Proton Decay: College Physics Help

    But why do we follow these principals ourselves? For instance we think know that an electron neutrino exists but actually, we just know that there is something out there which matches up with these equations and because logically if it has the characteristics of what we think we have found, then...

    Understanding Proton Decay: College Physics Help

    Thanks! That's really helpful :) But I guess it can happen the other way too right? I don't understand how one particle can change into another particle unless all particles are made of sort of a base of particles, which are quarks I guess but I thought electrons and neutrinos are leptons, and...

    Understanding Proton Decay: College Physics Help

    yes, i should have clarified. I'm sorry, I am talking about nuclear decay... I don't know why it happens though? I mean... something about exchange particles comes to mind and weak interactive forces but I don't think I understand exactly what happens?
