Hello Forum,

a continuous time, continuous amplitude sinusoid like sin(2pi*f*t) is 2pi periodic:

sin(2pi*f*t)=sin(2pi*f*t+m*2pi)

where m can be any positive or negative integer. Let's sample the sinusoid at a sampling frequency fs (sample interval is ts=1/fs) and get the discrete signal

x[n]=sin(2pi*f*n*ts)=sin(2pi*f*n*ts+2pi*m)=sin{2pi(f+m/(n*ts))*n*ts}

This book says: if we let m be an integer multiple of n, m=k*n, we can replace the ration m/n with k so that

x[n]=sin(2pi*f*n*ts)=sin{2pi(f+kf*s)n*ts}

What happens if m is not an integer multiple of n? Both m and n are integers (I get that), but I don't understand the constraint m=k*n...That does not seem general enough...

thanks

well in discrete time, x[n] will not be defined for non integer arguments
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
