Homework Statement


I have 3 data points of steady state temperature at 3 locations some distance away from a bulb, I need to calculate the temperature of the surface of the bulb. It would be best to assume the bulb is a hemispherical radiation source, based on the experiment set-up


Homework Equations


q''=σ(Ts-Tsurr)4
I=E/∏
G=I∏

q=kAΔT

The Attempt at a Solution


I am assuming the temperature distribution is not linear so using a line to fit the data then backing out the temp would not give an accurate result.

I don't think that will work at all.
If you can find a reasonable shape for the temperature distribution (based on a simulation or whatever), you can fit it - it is certainly not a straight line, but that does not matter for the fit.
 

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
