Currently doubling in Aero and Physics. My experience is that I would have a higher gpa with just one major, but a high gpa is not something I stress myself about. I care more about learning about cool stuff and getting a heck of an education in the process. So note that a double major won't...

So I am in an introductory modern physics class and we discussed how intrinsic spin can be a linear combination of the spin basis. I am a bit confused on the physical representation of this and whether or not there are different basis to represent spin. If it is possible, what would be the point...

Isn't cylindrical coordinates, with phi, theta and rho? What are you referring to as z+? Even with that information how are you supposed to perform a triple integral to evaluate the flux? If so, will the integrand just be 1 or is there a particular function to integrate? If there is, would it be...

How am I supposed to find symmetry if I do not know the pattern of the field? I assume that it is evenly distributed, but I cannot draw any other conclusions.

I am working under the assumption that since charge is evenly distributed throughout the cylinder, that a gaussian sphere would act like a point charge.

Homework Statement A straight circular plastic cylinder of length L and radius R (where R ≪ L) is irradiated with a beam of protons so that there is a total excess charge Q distributed uniformly throughout the cylinder. Find the electric field inside the cylinder, a distance r from the center...

I am going to push myself and do it. You are right I am probably going to end up taking QFT as an elective in grad school. I'm just focused on graduating in four years right now. Thanks for the non-negative "oh you won't be able to handle it" post.

I don't know if they offer it at your school, but take a mathematical methods in physics class typically open to only physics majors but I am sure the professor wouldn't mind you taking it. It is a lot of calc 1 and 2 but it does go into things such as complex analysis and just general math that...

I understand that this question has already been asked but I am still not satisfied with the answers given. My original plan was to do applied physics with a specialty in astrodynamics and propulsion with a minor in astronomy. Unfortunately most of the classes with in the aero department were...

Assume you have a simple battery-bulb-capacitor circuit. If you replace the capacitor with one that has twice the area as the old capacitor, the bulb will stay on longer because there has to be more charge to accumulate on the plates of the capacitor to zero out the net electric field...

Is it possible to produce an entangled photon pair and be able to delay the reception times by introducing something like a fiber bragg grating which has multiple indices of refraction which propagate wavelengths at different frequencies? Or will, because of their entangled state, do some...

Yea I am, I tried integrating and it got really messy, I assumed I was doing something wrong and instead assumed that potential is constant and hence e field is 0.

There are a lot of positions for elctro-optical engineers. Look into Thor Labs or Nufern to start off with. In terms of preparation I'd look into getting a PhD in Physics or EE with a specialty in Optics or something along that line. In terms of semiconductor production, you'd pretty much need a...

I don't know how relevant it is, but ill use photons as an example. If you upconvert into two complimentary entangled photons, it is (as far as we know) impossible to delay one of the photons without affecting the other photon in some way. This intrinsic "connection" could be one reason on how...

Stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway...isn't non-locality referring to "particles" or "photons" communicating with each other? Also isn't the no-communication theorem referring to the actual observation by an outside reference frame?
