Hi, Although I'm using trigonometric form of Fourier transform, first I'd discuss both, exponential and trigonometric forms, for the sake of context. Now proceeding toward the main question and we would only be using trigonometric form. % file name...

The test data and notes are attached - showing that the inverse square calculations fail to reasonably predict the actual dimming of light over a test distance of 168 mm. Did I err in my test design or my calculations?

First, the inverse quantum Fourier transform is ##\left | k \right > =\frac 1 {\sqrt {2^n}} \sum_{j=0}^{2^n-1} e^{-2 \pi ijk / 2^n} \left | j \right >##, and it is equal to ##\left | k_1 , k_2 , \dots , k_n \right > \rightarrow \frac { \left ( \left | 0 \right > + e^{-2 \pi i 0.k_n} \left...

The mass of an object moving at speed v increases such that $$\frac{m'}{m}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$$ and its apparent frequency decreases such that $$\frac{\nu'}{\nu}=\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}$$ so $$\frac{\nu'}{\nu}=\frac{m}{m'}$$ but equating the energies $$ h\nu= mc^{2}$$...

##132,289≡1973* 67 + 98## ##1973≡98*20+13## ##98≡13*7+7## ##13≡7*1+6## ##7≡6*1+1## now in reverse my attempt is as follows, ##1≡7-6## ## 1≡7-(13-7)## ##1≡2*7-(1973-20*132,289+1340*1973)## ##1≡2*7-(1341*1973-20*132,289## which is correct but my interest is in finding the inverse of 1973 help?

In "An Introduction to Modern Cosmology" by Andrew Liddle, page 130, paragraph A2.3 Luminosity distance, explains why the inverse square law does not hold at very far distances. One reason given is the expanding universe. (Another was the geometry of the Universe.) Could there be also...

It is obvious that there is a one-to-one relationship between real numbers (defined to include infinity) and their multiplicative inverses (assuming we map the inverse of zero to infinity and vice versa). Thus, one should be able to replace the distance between two points in space with it's...

Hello, I am using a code on EUCLID future mission. The original author of this code has set a value for the density of galaxy equal to : ng = 354543085.80106884 I think this is expressed in inverse steradian. I think that EUCLID mission has a 30 arcmin^-2 value for density of galaxies...

Hi, I think I am stuck in my understanding of "inverse" probability distributions. This is a question I would like to have help understanding. I want to figure out the distribution of number of trials for a given fixed number of successes and given probability for success for Bernoulli trials...

If I'm given a function ##f(x)##, say it has continuos first derivative, then I expand it as ##f(x + \Delta x) = f(x) + (df / dx) \Delta x##. If instead, I'm given ##f^{-1}(x)## how do I go about expanding it? Will this be just ##f^{-1}(x + \Delta x) = f^{-1}(x) + (df^{-1} / dx) \Delta x##?

Homework Statement I plotted a graph where Capacitance is at y-axis and Inverse Distance is at x-axis. It looks like a positive, increasing function. I am asked of a best fit, also an equation. But i am not sure whether to use quadratic or linear fit. I am also asked of what the slope...

Square law? i raise this question because of recently reading some QM, and realizing that for significantly short periods of time, it becomes hard to detect the mathematical patterns. E.g. in the double slit experiment, the standard pattern doesn’t appear after just a few photons. It takes...

Hello, guys. I'm currently working on a physics problem that requires me to evaluate the inverse Laplace of the function in the attached file. When b = 0, "y" vanishes, and all one has to do is to look up the Laplace table for the inverse. However, non-zero b has been giving me a headache. I...

I'm forking this off another thread where I brought it up but it was getting OT. It is good enough for a first approximation but it is certainly not exact. Consider a test mass one radius from a spherical body. Work out the contributions form two points diametrically opposed on the surface...

Do exist examples of attraction forces with such a type potential ##V(\boldsymbol r)\sim-\frac{1}{|\boldsymbol r|^2}, \quad |\boldsymbol r|\to 0## in physics ?

Hi, I've a question that asks me to determine matrix A , where A= ${S}^{-1}$* B* S They have given matrices S and B in the question. I think the answer is A=B, since S * ${S}^{-1}$ would give me the identity matrix and anything multiplied by the identity matrix is itself. Is this correct?

I am interested in evaluating light intensity variation in a digital image. A colleague wants to apply an inverse square law correction to account for distance variation. I am trying to justify that in this case, the inverse square law does not apply. Treating each pixel as a detector, it has...

Hello, I am trying to find the inverse of f(x) = x $$ \div$$ (x+4) IIRC i need to replace f(x) with y and solve for x. I've tried to do y = x $$\div$$ (x+4) becomes y(x+4) = x then xy + 4y = x but I can't reduce the amount of x to one. What am I doing wrong in this problem?

Hello! (Wave) I want to find $f(t)$ if its Laplace transform is $F(s)=\frac{1}{s(s^2+1)}$. We use the following formula, right? $$f(t)=\frac{1}{2 \pi i} \lim_{T \to +\infty} \int_{a-iT}^{a+iT} e^{st} F(s) ds$$ But how can we calculate the integral $\int_{a-iT}^{a+iT} e^{st}...

Hi PF! I'm reading an article and there is a differential equation cast as an operator equation: $$f_n-d_x^2 f_n = \lambda f$$ where ##f_n = \partial_n f##, which is derivative of ##f## normal to a given parameterized curve. The author casts the ODE as $$B[f_n] = \lambda A[f_n]:\\ B[f_n] \equiv...

Hi PF! One way to solve a simple eigenvalue problem like $$y''(x)+\lambda y(x) = 0,\\ y(0)=y(1)=0$$ (I realize the solution's amplitude can be however large, but my point here is not to focus on that) is to solve the inverse problem. If we say ##A[u(x)] \equiv d^2_x u(x)## and ##B[u(x)] \equiv...
