Hi guys, I understand that in the Sun electrons are released upper chromosphere and corona which causes synchotron radiation when they spiral through its magnetic field, but how does it work in the galactic centre? Could anyone shed some light on this? What I mean is what's the constant...

Ah ok, sorry, the height is 1/2 the wavelength Sorry, I didn't make that clear in my post: it was set up to pick up galactic background and to detect any solar flares (which I'm well aware is extremely unlikely at this time of year and, judging by recent activity, any time at all at the...

Hi guys, I'm in my final year of my physics degree and for my first semester project I had to make a dipole radio antenna, and it's proven to be quite tricky (at least in the theory side of things). I would seriously appreciate some help with a few things if anyone has anything to offer :)...

Oh man, I feel like such a dumbass. I can't believe we didn't realize that :redface: I think we just assumed that they'd be looking for us to be getting a double slit diffraction pattern with the slits they provided... Just goes to show that physicists should assume nothing :-p Thanks for...

The wavelength's 6.328nm, the slit width's 0.5mm and the slit separation is 0.2 mm but that should still give a central maximum, surely :/ Sorry that this was in the wrong place, I wasn't really sure where to put it! Thankyou for such a quick response :smile:

Hi there! I'm currently sat in the lab working on one of my uni assignments (I'm in my second year at Exeter, UK), and I'm getting results that I just don't understand, so thought that someone here might know what's going on! :smile: We're using a laser (through two lenses: I think one's...
