Exchange Definition and 245 Threads

I know that the strong force is viewed as the exchange of virtual pions between two nucleons, with the mass and range of them confirmed by the energy-time uncertainty principle. But if the momentum of the pion is transferred from one nucleon to the other in the interaction, wouldn't that give an...

Hi guys, I'm looking for advice... I study physics and math (7th semester in a 9 semester program) and it's very likely that I get the chance to study abroad. The thing is it would mean at least an extra semester for me... Do you think it's worth the delay? Or I should graduate earlier and...

Photons are referred to as the field quanta for the electromagnetic field. I would like to understand how the exchange of field quanta such as photons can create an attractive force. For example, I can see that an electron could repel another electron by hitting it with photons...

I might be asking a question who's answer is way beyond my level but ill give it a shot. In QED, an electric or magnetic field is described in terms of exchanged photons, right? But if a photon itself is made of electric and magnetic fields... a paradox to my ill-informed brain. :mad:

Hi! Could you tell me the idea of using Jordan exchange for the Simplex Method?

Here's an alternative solution to solving the integral:$$\int_0^1\frac{\log(1+x)\log(1-x)}{(1+x)}\,dx$$[Original post: calculus - A challenging logarithmic integral $\int_0^1 \frac{\log(1+x)\log(1-x)}{1+x}dx$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange] I'll post a link on there so the OP can see my work...

Hi, I would like to ask about how the exchange rates are determined. I understood the concept of supply and demand, but my question is more technical than conceptual, i mean where is the information of the rates are coming from? Is there any center that keeps the track of, for example every...

In Quantum Mechanics, when we exchange identical particles the physics doesn't change. I wonder what stuff is conserved when this symmetry is demanded. I asked my professor but he didnt/couldnt answer. Google is no help either.

We are taught that a reason for the stability of half filled or fully filled orbitals is due to the high exchange energy. Now i get why the exchange energy would be higher compared to other configurations but i don't understand why electrons present in degenerate orbitals would want to exchange...

Why is the cation exchange always carried out before anion exchange in softening of hard water by ion exchange resins? Plz. Help:(

I wonder if there is any law for heat exchange. I have learned that heat exchange between systems occurs when the temperature of respective systems differ. But in case of evaporation, the process creates a cooling effect even in an isothermal condition ( I mean by isothermal condition to be a...

Anyone who trades in the stock exchange, can I get some advice on books, websites, or any other resource to learn the basics of investing? Also is there any general tips you could give me? Thank you :confused:

In the well known Ising model, without any external field (H=0), the energy (E), spins (s) and exchange interaction (J) are related as in the following equation $$ E = -\sum_{<ij>}J_{ij}s_{i}s_{j} $$ Jij is site dependent and consists of three components JAA, JBB and JABwhere A is say up...

Homework Statement A counterflow, concentric tube heat exchanger is used to cool the lubricating oil for large industrial gas turbine engine. The flow rate of cooling water through the inner tube (Di = 25 mm) is 0.2 kg/s, while the flow rate of oil through the outer annulus (Do = 45 mm) is...

Sorry if this post seems short, I had to write it in a hurry. I'm currently reading Leonard Susskind's 'The Cosmic Landscape'. In it, he describes how electrons and protons both emit photons, which is what gives them their charge. The explanation is really awesome, but I have one thing I...

What is the deferences between Exchange and correlation and also what is Exchange-correlation hole?

Hi everyone, I realize this is only loosely related to mathematics, but I didn't know where else to ask this question (if I post it in a finance forum I'll get 100 different answers from people who probably didn't really understand the question). I think mathematicians are the kind of people...

Hi everyone, I'm working with quantum dot (PbS). However, I'm actually not a chemist, so could anyone help me to address some issues regarding quantum dots especially related to ligand exchange process. My questions are: 1. anyone can address about what kind of functionality (e.g: thiol...

I know there are many deep issues that come up in attempts to do quantum gravity, but I suspect that the following is not deep but easily explained by someone who knows more about this than I do. Suppose two neutrons are interacting gravitationally. The Feynman diagram that I would naively draw...

I know that the virtual exchange particle between two electrons is the photon and this explains why they repel each other (ie virtual photon is spontaneously emitted from one electron A causing it to recoil. As the virtual photon hits electron B, it imparts momentum causing it to move away so...

I am trying to calculate the amount of water that would have to pass through a 200 litre tank (water inlet temp is 20degrees c) in order to cool water by 10degrees in a closed loop (in a coiled copper pipe) suspended in the tank the coil has a total length of 30 lineal m and a diametre of 20mm...

Homework Statement Hi all! I was wondering in two Feynman diagrams (1 and 2) 1) in an electron positron annihilation two photons are created. Now, is the virtual electron the exchanged particle? I'm having problems understanding the diagrams. 2) A proton decays to a neutron as a...

How can I figure out how to calculate the heat/cooling exchange rate of water inside pex tubing? I want to build a ground source cooling system simular to a chiller system but I want a closed loop system. My game plan is to pump ground water into a holding tank that is constantly flowing ground...

Are ALL ligand exchange reactions reversible? Therefore, if the Kstab of one complex is LESS than that of the other complex, would it ONLY be possible to form the LESS stable complex by 'flooding' the mixture with the appropriate ion. (these values are not real but they illustrate what I...

I am trying to determine the expected heat exchange between flowing ground water in gravel/clay soil (that runs on top of blue clay) and glycol fluid in plastic pipe (1 1/4"). For my current interest, estimated ground water temperature of 60 degrees seems best. I am trying to determine the...

Im reading through Griffiths' Intro to QM book right now, and I can't quite understand a statement he makes about the symmetrization of the states of identical fermions and bosons explaining the covalent bonding between two hydrogen to make an H2 molecule. The book says that (based on the...

Imagine a bell that has only 3 ideal resonant frequencies (no damping) and I am hitting it with a point like ideal hammer, does this mean that all of the energy of the hammer is distributed among those 3 resonances? I think not, i.e. the energy stored in the resonant modes are less than the...

Hi, all. I'm wondering if anyone's done some simulation of magnetic material with LLG equation. The question is where can I find the value of exchange constant for a material. In LLG equation, the exchange constant is in the unit of "J/m", and the typical value is 10^-11 J/m, for some...

This is a rather general question but I'm studying for my thermodynamics final and wanted to clarify this topic. Is it possible for there to be a change in entropy in a cycle without a net exchange of heat into or out of the system? If so what may be some of the examples of this and how would...
