The law of conservation of angular momentum states that
... Let us consider some examples of momentum: the Earth continues tospin at the same rate it has for billions of years; a high-diver who is "rotating" when jumping off the board does not need to make any physical effort to continue rotating, and indeed would be unable to stop rotating before hitting t ...

CCR 19: Spectroscopic Notation
... In Figure SN-3 the principal emission series of sodium consists of those transitions originating on p states and ending on the 3s level (the lowest S term). The sharp series consists of those transitions originating on the 4s and higher s states and ending on the 3p state (the lowest P term). Simila ...

What is the meaning of the wave function?
... The wave function is the most fundamental concept of our most fundamental physical theory. Some explanation of what it means must be given, if only for pedagogical reasons. I shall suggest that there are at least two quite different meanings that can be given to the wave function. Let me start by de ...
