    Bremsstrahlung
AI Thread Summary
Bremsstrahlung refers to the radiation produced when charged particles are accelerated, particularly in a vacuum or near vacuum. Understanding this phenomenon may require knowledge of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD), as these topics are integral to the underlying physics. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding accessible resources, noting that relevant books may be checked out from libraries. A Wikipedia article on bremsstrahlung is suggested as a reasonable starting point for further exploration. Familiarity with introductory quantum mechanics is beneficial but may not be sufficient for deeper comprehension of the topic.

Hello,
I'm looking for any information on bremsstrahlung in a vacuum (or near vacuum). I've been trying to look for some information on google and in my school's physics library. The one book I found in the library was checked out so I couldn't actually look at it, but it looked like the book involved QED and QCD. Will I need to know a decent amount about these two topics to begin to learn about this subject?
I am going into my junior year as an undergrad and have covered some intro to quantum mechanics, but nothing too advanced. Any help is appreciated.

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
