AI Thread Summary
A CD (Compact Disc) works by using a laser to read data encoded in the form of tiny pits on its surface, which represent digital information such as movies and pictures. The data is stored in a binary format, allowing it to be interpreted by a CD player or computer. Users are encouraged to consult existing diagrams and explanations for a clearer understanding, as forums may not provide the most efficient answers. Searching online can yield valuable resources for learning about CD technology. Overall, utilizing search engines is recommended for comprehensive information on how CDs function.

Physics news on Phys.org
I tried this link which was returned from a Google search "CD how it works"
Read that (and some other stuff) and then come back with some specific questions. People have already prepared diagrams and explanations for people to use. Using a Forum is not an efficient way to find out this sort of thing. Google can be good value.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
