    Dispersion relation and their origins & meaning

    Hi Everyone, I'm trying to understand dispersion relations in general. I know that for a simple wave like a light wave there is a 'constant phase' so the dx/dt is equal to the ratio of the angular frequency (omega) by the wave vector (k). However what does a 'constant phase' mean? How can I...

    MHB Relation Between $\sqrt{n}$ and $n^{\sin n}$?

    Hello! (Smile)I want to determine if $\sqrt{n}$ is $\Theta $ / $O$ / $\Omega$, $o$, $\omega$ of $n^{\sin n}$. To do so we could calculate the limit: $$\lim_{n \to +\infty} \frac{\sqrt{n}}{n^{\sin n}}$$ right? But how can we find the limit, although $\lim_{n \to +\infty} \sin n$ does not...

    Relation between torque and rpm

    I was reading something and they said i was to decrease the rpm of a dc motor to increase the torque.. What i don't get is the equation for torque is T=(2*p*N)/60 So increasing the rpm should only increase the torque right.. Im a little lost here..please help
