    Programs Area to choose for my Master's thesis: theoretical physics/mathematical physics?

    Hello! This spring i am going to do my master in some area of physics, something in theoretical physics/mathematical physics. I have also taken many particle physics, space physics, and pure math courses. The mathematics in physics like quantum mechanics and electrodynamics is more beautiful...

    Admissions Advice about doing 1 or 2 masters during 2 yrs before doing PhD?

    But 1 year of master in Sweden (aka magisterexamen in swedish) count as a masters degree right? Right now i am thinking about doing option (1) or (2), perhaps I could start with option (2) and see if the workload is to much or not. If I do option (2), my physics thesis will be about something...

    Admissions Advice about doing 1 or 2 masters during 2 yrs before doing PhD?

    Hmm, i actually live in Sweden. Heres some Universities I am thinking about to do a phd in: Lund University (LU), Royal Technological University of Sweden (KTH), Uppsala University (UU), and University of Stockholm (SU). Note: also open do a phd in other countries in europe, Australia, or New...

    Admissions Advice about doing 1 or 2 masters during 2 yrs before doing PhD?

    The reason why I am wanna do both math master and physics master is mostly to broadening my career possibilities and not quite sure what I wanna do. So many options :p

    Admissions Advice about doing 1 or 2 masters during 2 yrs before doing PhD?

    But do you think that its way better to have a 2 yrs master in physics compared to 1 year master in physics for phd? Cause I have heard that the thesis is one of the important parts to get into a phd programme, for instance getting your thesis published at a journal.

    Admissions Advice about doing 1 or 2 masters during 2 yrs before doing PhD?

    Hello! As the topic suggests, atm I am a math grad student, beginning my 2nd and last year after the summer. Note that I have allmost taking more physics courses than math courses during my first year, and to me theoretical physics research seem more appealing than pure math research. Would...

    Derive surface brightness formula

    Derive formula for surface brightness The formula in question we wanna derive is: S(mag/arcsec^2) = M⊙ + 21.572 -2.5 log_{10} S(L⊙/pc^2). Best regards.

    Use Saha-Boltzmann statistics to get the relative number densities

    When I am using the Saha equation, how i am suppose to know the electron pressure? Which are required to calculate the ration? Since: P_e = n_ekT (electron pressure and n_e is related to each other, but n_e is also unknown based on my understanding).

    How to Determine Temperature Difference Between Two Stars Using Spectral Lines?

    TL;DR Summary: A weak spectral line connecting levels in neutral iron has been observed for a number of solar-type stars. Its lower level has an excitation energy of 2 eV. If the line’s equivalent width is twice as large for star A as for star B, how great is the difference in temperature (in...
