Why magnetohydrodynamic waves depending on the Korteweg de Vries equation?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The Korteweg de Vries equation (KdV) is an important partial differential equation that describes the behavior of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. MHD waves are an important part of plasma physics and describe how plasma behaves in magnetic fields. The KdV equation can be used to model various types of MHD waves, such as Alfvén, fast magnetosonic, and slow magnetosonic waves. These MHD waves are important for understanding processes such as magnetorotational instability, which is important for understanding the formation of stars and planets.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
