Field Peskin Quantum

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on difficulties with calculating the derivative in equation 7.31 from Peskin and Schroeder's quantum field theory text. A user is struggling to derive the expression for Σ in dp slash and reports discrepancies with the expected result. They request assistance in correctly performing the derivative and ask for elaboration using the PF format. Participants are encouraged to share their attempts and solutions to help clarify the process. The thread highlights the collaborative nature of problem-solving in complex quantum field theory topics.

I can't do the derivative 7.31 at page 221. I try to do the derivative of Σ in dp slash, but my result is different from 7.31
Someone can help me writhing the right derivative?

Thank you in advance!

Can you elaborate here using the PF format. Also show us first what you've done so far. Thanks.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'How to find eddy current (circular) path in this pendulum experiment?'

Does the direction my second finger points in indicate the literal direction of magnetic field at that point in space, or do I need to further use right hand rule or something for a circular path around the finger
