Homework Statement An electron is in an applied magnetic field. This electron is then radiated with microwave radiation which is at the correct larmor frequency. Homework Equations 1) Does the electron absorb microwave radiation when the applied microwave radiation induces a spin flip...

Thank you all for your help:smile:

I think I understand this. since the overlap of \lambda and the vacuum is zero and also the overlap with the one, two and so one particle functions is zero, \lambda must be zero. Am I right?

I believe the overlap of |\lambda> with the one particle state to be zero

The overlap with the vacuum is zero but how does this help me?:confused:

What is their overlap with vaccum? I don't understand!

Homework Statement The problem is to find the eigenkets for the creation operator ,a^{\dagger} if they exist Homework Equations a^{\dagger}|\Psi>=\lambda|\Psi> a^{\dagger}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2*\hbar*m*\omega}}*(-\hbar*\frac{d}{dx}+m*\omega*x) The Attempt at a Solution I use the...

An electron has its spin vector pointing in the positive x-direction and a magnetic field vector is turned on in the positive z-direction. Question 1. Does the spin vector turn to the positive z-direction and start to precess around the z-axis? Or does is precess around the x-axis...

A beam of particles with spin 1/2 are coming out of a polarizer and moving along the x-axis, the spin of the particles points in the positive y direction. A uniform magnetic field is turned on and off over a short distance compared with the wavelength of the particle beam. The field is given by...

it is (n*PI)/L ,where 2L is one period which I just treat as a constant

I am trying to solve this Fourier problem where I have to integrate ∫f(x) * exp(-i§x) dx from -∞ to ∞ , where f(x) = exp(-sgn(x)) I tried breaking the function into two pieces where x is from -∞ to 0 and from 0 to ∞ where f(x) would then be exp(x) and exp(-x) and integrating two functions...

I understand this better now. Thanks

There is an example in my textbook which I´m having trouble with. The example is like this. " Find the area of the finite plane region bounded by the four parabolas, y=x^2 , y=2x^2 , x=y^2 , and x=3y^2 The region is called D. Let u=y/x^2 and v=x/y^2 The the region D corresponds to...

Hi. I have been trying to find the MO diagram for BrF5 since it is not in my textbook. I have been searching the web, and Google but I haven't been able to find anything, if someone knows of a MO diagram on the web I would be thankful If you would tell me where to find it.

My textbook doesn't show enough exmples on this.

I have to find the first three non-zero terms in the Maclaurin series for the function sec(x). I guess I have to use the known Maclaurin series for cos(x) and doing 1/cos(x) series with long division. I tried that but didn't get anywere close to the right answer. Could anyone please help me?

I think I understand this no, just hvae to get some practice solving these kind of problems. Thanks.

O.K. I getting close to understanding this. What puzzles me is the last sum. Do you put n+1 so the first term isn't 0? I think I'm missing some information to understand this.

O.K. I see what's going on now, thanks. But I still don't get how to get n+1 from c_k = \sum^k_{r=0} a_r b_{k-r} without doing some multiplication. Please explain to me if you can.

My textbook has an example on multiplication of power series. " Multiply the geometric series x^n by itself to get a power series for 1/(1-x)^2 for |x|<1 " from this we get the c_{n}=n+1 O.K. I get that the coefficients are 1 for all n but why +1. Could someone please explain this to me...

Thanks.:smile:

In my textbook there is an example that shows determination whether a series converges or diverges using the limit comparison test. " The series is (1+n *ln(n)) / (n^2 + 5) For n large, we expect an to behave like (n*ln(n))/n^2 = (ln(n))/n, which is greater than 1/n for n>= 3, so we take bn =...

Could anyone please tell me if the name propiophenone is a IUPAC systematic name? And if so why it is this way.

I got it right. I had to calculate the width of the shell.And then integrate.

I understand I can't use Pappus's theorem. So I try to cut the hemispherical shell into horizontal shells up the y axis. Each shell should have the surface 2*Pi*R where R=sqrt(r^2-y^2) So dS = 2*Pi*R dy But there is something wrong here, When I integrate from 0 to r I don't get the right...

I have to find the centroid of a hemispherical surface with radius r. I want to use Pappus's theorem.S=2*Pi*x*s The surface S, is 2*Pi*r^2 and the length of the curve s, is Pi*r so the distance from the centroid ,which lies on the y-axis by symmetry, to the x-axis is S/(2*Pi*Pi*r) = r/Pi...

O.K. Thanks

The attacking electrophile would be the tert-butyl since the sulfuric acid protonated the tert-butanol and water leaves. Is that not correct?

Need help with Friedel Crafts alkylation Hi. In my laboratory textbook there is an explanation on how to make 1,4-Di-t-butyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene from p-Dimethoxybenzene, tert-butanol and sulfuric acid. I am to put acetic acid and t-butyl alcohol to the p-Dimethoxybenzene. What my textbook...

After some hard work and a lot of eraser I got the right answer. Thank you marlon.

I am trying to integrate sqrt(1+4*x^2) I have been trying to rewrite this into sqrt(-4x+(2x + 1)^2) and putting u=2x+1 and substituting but I don't think that makes this any easier. Could someone please give me a hint.

Well I had forgotten all about this problem. I had already figured out the hight of the polar caps. But I have a problem with integrating the caps to find their volumes, could you please give me a hint on that? Berry Boy. Thanks.

I have to calculate the volume of a sphere of radius 2 that has a hole with radius 1 through the sphere and that includes the center of the sphere. I am trying to solve this by putting semi disk with length 4 units and 1 unit from the base to the top, and then revolving this disk around the line...

Compleated the square and everything works. Thanks guys.

Hi. I want to integrate x/(x^2 + ax + a^2) I tried substitution with u=x^2 then du =2x but that didn't work out neither did the substitution x^2 + ax I thought of factorizing the denominator and using partial fractions, but I think that's not the way, can't figure out the factorization...

Thanks, it worked.

I have a textbook problem I am trying to solve with no luck. I know 1/(u^2 -1) = 1/2 [ 1/(u-1) - 1/(u+1) ] I come so far to see that 1/(u^2 -1) = 1/ [(u-1)(u+1) ] But I don't know what comes next. Could somebody please give me a hint.

thank you for your help

I integrated with u=e^x and used partial fraction to get -ln(e^x) + 2*ln(e^x -1) +C I differentiated this back to the beginning, so I should be right. But I got a different looking answer in my textbook.

Hi. I am trying to integrate (e^x +1)/(e^x -1) I have looked at this for almost an hour and don´t know how to start with it. I want to use substitution but I have to rewrite this in some way. Could anyone please give me a little hint?

Saw this gadget on tv that's supposed to change the taste of wine with a special magnetic field. And the new structure of the wine is to last for 15 days. Would this be possible at all?

I was wondering if it's correct to name isopropyl in IUPAC as 1-methylethyl? :rolleyes:

Thank you. :smile: Just one question. How do you derive the mean of the radius?

A spherical shell has inner radii a and outer radii b. The temperatures at the inner and outer surfaces are T2 and T1. The thermal conductivity of the shell material is k. I have to derive an equation for the total heat current through the shell. The equation for heat current through a rod...

O.K. I think I understand this but the real problem I don't understand, here it comes. An incompressible fluid with density rho is in a horizontal test tube of inner cross-sectional area A. The test tube spins in a horizontal circle with angular speed w. Gravitational forces are negligeble...

The tube accelerates to the right. The water goes to the left, so there must be a force pressing it to the left. I know its not really a force, but It helps thinking of it that way. When you drive a car in a circle your body gets pressed to the sides. Your body is not in a an inertial frame of...

That's what I thought. But wasn't sure because the object isn't in an inertial frame of reference.

What I meant is that the object doesn't accelerate. But then again it changes direction. A direct answer would be appreciated.
