@bcrowell, sorry, I actually meant parity, not polarity. I'll edit the post. I've gone long without sleeping... In my example, what is the parity of the photon and why? I don't know what those M and E's stand for..
EDIT: I think I understand it now. the parity, in my example, is positive. I was...
Let's say we have a transition from ##J^P = \dfrac{1}{2}^+## to something like ##J^P = \dfrac{5}{2}^+##. It radiates a photon with some energy ##E_\gamma##. How does one know the parity of said photon? How does conservation of parity work here?
Homework Statement
A beam of neutrons hit a target of heavy nuclei with spin ##J_N = 0## with resonance when the energy of the incident beam is 250eV, in the cross section distribution with a maximum of 1300 barns. The width of the maximum is 20 eV. Find the partial width of resonance for the...
Hello ZapperZ, thank you for replying.
I am an european student, currently in Portugal and I plan to either stay here or go elsewhere while remaning in europe.
The reason for seeking a masters degree is that, adding to the fact that, nowadays, a bachelors is pretty much not enough, my thirst...
Computational Mechanics is considered engineering, as it is taught in an engineering campus. I then have "Industrial engineering" and "micro/nano technologies". I'm not sure what the prospects for each would be..
Hey.
I'll be finishing my bachelors (in Physics) in a month or so and it's about time to start thinking about a master's degree.
I'm not very motivated to go pure Physics. I'm more inclined for something like "Computational Mechanics". Now, in this time and age it would be stupid of me to get...
I'm trying to use the OFFSET function in libreoffice to copy every 37th row in a given column but I am unable to do it. I've lost the last 3 hours searching all over the internet and the given answers don't seem to work on my libre-office! I'm seriously getting pissed here.
So, let's say I have...

A transition happens for ##\lambda = 494nm## in the Cesium ions (##^133 Cs##) between a term in the ##5p^5 6s## configuration and term in the ##5p^5 6p## configuration. Five components are observed with the following energies (relative to the transition of least energy): 0...
