    BME or Medical Physics: Which to Choose?

    This is what I was affraid of... it seems like the market has somewhat been saturated. Further, I don't mind changing location, but moving to the other side of the US is nearly out of the picture, and that seems to also be the case that jobs do not give grads the slightest opportunity to choose...

    How Does the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Relate to Photon Polarization?

    Hello, I am doing a small presentation on Quantum Cryptology this next week, and need a little help relating HUP and polarization of photons. I understand that when you polarize a photon on a basis of say 45* the photon simultaneously exist in both the horizontal and vertical polarizations at...

    BME or Medical Physics: Which to Choose?

    As far as 'what I want to do', I am equally split. I am (unfortunately) very interested in EVERYTHING... I would honestly be equally happy with eigther as a career. I just want to make sure that after years of graduate school, that I will have job opportunities afterwords! Pay is somewhat...

    Which Grad Program is Better: Biomedical Engineering or Medical Physics?

    Also... How hard would it be, if I chose biomedical engineering, got my PhD or MS, and decided to jump ship and go into a career in medical physics?

    Which Grad Program is Better: Biomedical Engineering or Medical Physics?

    So, I am finishing my undergrad (physics) this year and have several offers from graduate schools. What I am looking for is some insight as to what career appears to be better as far as job opportunities and pay. I am equally split on which program I like more, so that has become a...

    Overcoming Academic Setbacks: Coping with Illness and Anxiety in College

    Oh, you are fine! I dropped from college for three years, after failing an entire year (two semesters back to back)... now, I am receiving graduate school offers from 'semi' prestigious schools. You just have a lot of work ahead of you... but you certainly are not ruined! You need to let...

    BME or Medical Physics: Which to Choose?

    Ok, how about this: Cleveland State Medical physics or University of Cincinnati Biomedical Engineering? Which and why?

    What's an acceptable grade for Calculus I in university?

    I got a C in my first calc class. I am graduating this semester with a 3.5 GPA in all my math classes, and a 3.6 GPA in all my physics classes. I would not recommend retaking a class because you received a C. I received several C's and my GPA is still above average, and I am receiving...

    BME or Medical Physics: Which to Choose?

    I need some opinions... I am really struggling on deciding what type of education I would like to pursue next year (my undergrad is in physics): I have offers from two schools (waiting on hearing back from 3 others; so let's assume these are the only two offers I am going to get). One...

    Solving Thin-Film Problem with Wavelengths 690 and 575nm

    I suppose I am only searching for the equation used to determine the answer. I think that for thin films which have an index of refraction higher than the water, the thickness is wavelength over 4... but, for the situation of having an index lower than that of the water, I presume that some...

    Solving Thin-Film Problem with Wavelengths 690 and 575nm

    Problem states: Wavelengths of 690 and 575nm are observed when white light is directed on a film floating in water. The index of the film is 1.25, and the index of water is 1.33. What is the thichkness? I know the phase is shifted by pi., but other than that I am not sure where to go...

    Rotational Dynamics of a Handle with a Knob on One End

    No responses, so let me change the question... A rotating (in x-y plane) rod about one of it's ends. At the other end, from the origin, is a knob with height into the z axis. What is the velocity and acceleration at the top of the knob? Is the velocity and acceleration at the top of...
