So question :
We have cored cilynder. Inner radius 10 cm, outer radius 20 cm. In the walls
of the cilynder uniformed charge 2nK/m^3. Find electric field magnitude at the points from axes 8cm 18cm 28cm.

Sorry for my english.

I think you mean 2 nC/m^3 for the charge density. What attempts have you made in solving this problem. The first case is the easiest.
 
Yes I mean nC/m^3. So For 8cm I think to use that E = <r0>*r\(2*e*0e).
it is a case then point where we define electric field is inner cilinder.
But then we have 18cm, then point would be in the cilinder.
3 case i could use E = <ro> *R^2\(2*e0*e*r), but what should be R - radius od cilynder 20cm.

<ro> is charge density.
 
For the first case, the gaussian cyclinder would enclose no charge at all. Now for the other two, draw similar gaussian cylinders - one within the walls and the thrid outisde the charged cylinder. If you know the general case of evaluating the field of a long cylinder using Gauss' law, it would be a simple exercise to solve the problems.
 
EDIT: Never mind...I was being an idiot!

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
