define the following
are these definitions correct?
and i can't find some of them in the book

1. Lorentz contraction equation
x'=x-vt

2. the selection rules for dipole radiation
?

3.the energies of the electron in hydrogen


4. 4 quantum numbers for hydrogen


5. the equation relating the parent-daughter nuclei in alpha decay



6. the equation relating the parent-daughter nuclei in beta decay


7. the relationship between halflife and the disintegration constant



8. how big is a nuclues?





9. what is the reason for energy bands in solids?





10. how many states are there in a s-band?




11. how many states are there in a p-band?






12. the energy of a harmonic oscillator

E=hv(n+1/2)


13. the energies of a particle in a 1-D box of length, L





14. define phase velocity






15.define group velocity





help would be appreciated, I know how to apply them. Thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
answer to #4 would be n=2, l=0 ml=0 and ms=+-1/2

Try other books. You should also get lots of information just using Google. See what you can find.

I know how to apply them.

You know how to apply them, but you don't know what they are? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
 
what exactly is an energy band. I am really confused.
From my reading i get that each s-band can only have one state correct?
and the p-band would be able to have 2 states?
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
