Graduate How does refraction work on the quantum level?
No, it's actually the same process. Whenever light interacts with a medium, (reflection or refraction) the interaction is an electron from the medium absorbing the photon and re-emitting it. There's a very good book on this by Richard Feynman called... -

Graduate How does refraction work on the quantum level?
Actually, the photons are affected by the the atoms, specifically, they are absorbed and re-emitted by the electrons in the atom. -

Graduate Can an alternate Muonic Helium model be created with one electron and one muon?
If you are referring to gravity as moving the nucleus then you may assume so. Seeing as the relative distance from the nucleus to the the first orbit is incredibly large, gravity would not have an effect on the nucleus.- zush

What is the Resistance Between Two Points in an Infinite Grid?
If I understand your problem correctly, the answer is zero resistance, seeing as the more resistors which are added in parallel in a circuit, the lower the resistance. If there are an infinite number, than there is an equivalent resistance of zero.- zush

Undergrad What is the origin of electrical potential energy in a charged particle's field?
For true specifics, you're going to have to take some four years of college and then graduate school to learn about quantum electrodynamics, or QED. There's a great book on it by Richard Feynman.- zush

Force exerted on a seat on rollercoaster
How did you get that velocity? since v=(2gh)^0.5, you get v=32.833 m/s. Also, what's the mass of the roller-coaster?- zush

Undergrad What is the origin of electrical potential energy in a charged particle's field?
The thing is, it takes energy to oscillate the magnet which passes through the metal coil. This is the energy which becomes the work done by the electric field.- zush

High School How to divide positive and negative charges from each other
It's impossible. You need some type of charged object/physical particle to move it. It's like asking to move a stationary ball without touching it or using a gravitational attraction.- zush

3 Multiple Choice - Circuits/Waves
18. That is the correct explanation 22. P=IV=V^2/R. Because of this, assuming that the voltage is constant, the greater the resistance, the less power output. 23. The top bulb would be unchanged, because the same amount of current leaves it. Its hard to explain For bulb 2, but it has to do with...- zush
