dear reader, what is the mass of light particels?

dear reader, what is comptons effect.how did compton do this experiment?[?] :smile:

Imagine rolling a coin with a radius of 1 unit on a flat surface. To get translated 2[pi] units, the coin must obviously roll 1 revolution. (the angle swept is 2[pi] and the arc length covered equals to 2[pi]*r = 2[pi]*1 = 2[pi]. Now imagine rolling a coin on another stationary coin with the...

""During [most of] July, our water temperatures were, I would say, right around normal," said Capt. Butch Arbin, head of the Ocean City Beach Patrol. That's in the low 70s. About two weeks ago, he said, "there was a tremendous change in temperature, [dropping] as much as 10 degrees overnight."...

Check this site address out: http://scitoys/scitoys/scitoys/magnets/gauss.html It is a neat little science project site, and I found this project the most interesting (except for the non-elecricity requiring radio) on their site. How it tells you it works(shortened): You take a ruler and...

"The notorious "elephant man" may have suffered from two rare disorders, according to scientists." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3084483.stm

I'm sure you all have seen them, I just wonder if anyone knows what they do: I have noticed traffic sensors of some sort in various places over the last few months. They consist of two long wires which look like co-ax cable duct-taped across the road/street/lane/highway. They are connected to...

folding paper Why can't we fold a piece of paper more than 8 times, no matter how large it is? PS I've seen this question in another forum quite a long time ago but no one seems to know why. Some claimed that it can be explained by using some chemistry principles while others said it is...

Brown's Gas Is it real or is it some joke? Its properties are somewhat amazing.. Its produced by electrolyzer. It produces 1866 volumes of gas from 1 volume of water, its stable, it burns, with COLD flame, but can punch holes into and sublimate tungsten (13000F), applies electric charge to...

OK here is what I am trying to figure out there is a large factory by my house which towers about 4 stories above the surrounding community. on the roof there is an array of 802.11b anttenas (im assuming its B and not A cause B has larger range) there are 10 large anttenas, 5 on one side of...

Why is it light bulbs always tend to break the moment when you switch them on.

It is accepted to consider BH as an object which on a reason of the achievement of its mass before a certain critical value (?) be subjected to collapse. This situation when in small volume does concentrated enormous mass with unbelievably enormous density of the material. Having the most...

I am wondering why it is that we have a vaccine for the Hepatitis B virus and not for the Hepatitis C virus..

The mystery is that which lies within. And yet the mystery is none other than the essence which gives rise to form. Whereas all mysteries are pretty much one and the same, in that they lead to the one true mystery, The Mystery of Life ...

Why do the particles of substances vibrate? Just where does that constant energy come from?

What causes the Aurora Borealis?

First let's work our way up. 1. For a fire to start, oxygen has to be present, yes? 2. There is no oxygen in space(vacuum), yes? Since they are surrounded by vacuum, they have absolutely no way to obtain the oxygen to support combustion. Then how is it that the Sun and stars can burn...

I noticed this brownish substance along the walls of the fish tank containing my Bala Shark, Schrödinger, and this substance is also in the gravel. The idea of purchasing an "algae-eater" to see whether it will feed off this substance crossed my mind but it could eat it without knowing what...

Does SR seem like a total mystery to you? This short book goes through relativistic mechanics and demystifies the so-called "paradoxes" of relativity clearly and concisely. Let's work through it! http://www.physics.nyu.edu/hogg/sr/sr.pdf
