... could be nine, if they are both in the same direction or it could be one, if they are in opposite directions (these are the extremes). And you have the whole range of possibilities if you do not know the direction. So adding vectors is more complicated. Choose any of the vectors to be summed and dra ...

5.3 Atomic Emission Spectra and the Quantum Mechanical Model
... The Nature of Light The sun and incandescent light bulbs emit white light, which consists of light with a continuous range of wavelengths and frequencies. • When sunlight passes through a prism, the different wavelengths separate into a spectrum of colors. • In the visible spectrum, red light has th ...

... Remarks. (i) In this paper, “physical quantities of a system S” are always represented by self-adjoint (bounded) linear operators. 1 If during a certain interval, I, of time it is possible to unambiguously assign an objective value to a physical quantity of S represented by an operator X̂ ∈ OS we s ...

... The ±1 is determined by the nature of the particles. For bosons (photons, phonons, etc.), it is -1. For fermions (electrons, protons), it is always +1. The parameter Μ is called the chemical potential. It is a very important parameter in thermodynamics and statistical physics (it is as important as ...

Mechanics II - Thierry Karsenti
... Many students have a sad impression that mechanics is difficult to grasp. The single most resposible factor for this impression is not the lack of information or theoretical concepts but rather the absence of clear and correct ideas about the relations between the concepts of physics. Learners often ...

... A rubber ball and a clay ball are dropped on a gymnasium floor. The rubber ball has an elastic collision and bounces back up with the same speed it had when it hit the floor. The clay ball has an inelastic collision hitting the floor with a thud and staying there. Both balls have the same mass and a ...

... Many particle systems are characterized by a huge number of degrees of freedom. However, in essentially all cases a complete knowledge of all quantum states is neither possible nor useful and necessary. For example, it is hard to determine the initial coordinates and velocities of 1023 Ar-atoms in a ...

Towards A Quantum Mechanical Model of Foreign Policy
... The first ‘guess’ that inspired the formulation of quantum mechanical thought was forwarded by Max Planck in 1900. Planck hypothesized that vibrating electrons in incandescent lights could only have energies restricted to certain values. As a result, radiation was emitted in quantized energy.22 With ...
