I'm a grad student. I've done 2 semester of QFT using Peskin but I've didn't too well due to many reasons. I now want to go back and catch up on things I should have learned better, and then learn even more - I want to be a good field theorist. I'd like to see if there's anyone in a similar...

We've had a couple of exercises on lasers, and there's two I had some problems with: 1. He-Ne-laser Given A He-Ne laser with a 'base wavelength' (might be a bad translation of terminology, for which I apologize) lambda= 632.8 nm; Level width delta(nu) = 1500 MHz ; Allowed deviation...

Hey guys, I was wondering what is the best way to build muscle if I run the track. Is it wise to eat a lot of fat, then run my buttocks off for the muscle? Or eat light and low carbs and low calories? What becomes muscles then?

I have two questions that were on a (past due) take home test in my GTR class. There maybe many answers, but I am interested in the best answers. 1) Why is Einstien's GTR a theory of gravity? 2) Why is Einstien's GTR a geometric theory? I welcome anyone who thinks they have an...

A ray of light strikes a flat block of glass (n=1.5) of thickness 2.0 cm at an angle of 30 degrees with the normal. Find the distance the light is shifted. I found the angle of refraction to be 19.471 degrees. I figured I could find the horizontal distance traveled by rays going through at 30...

Ow. Just about all I can say. I lifted weights for the first time in the last 9 years today. It's been over 12 hours, and I'm still having problems walking. Particularly up and down stairs. I can't extend my arms all the way. Should have used the lighter dumbells for the curls. On a...

It can be useful to construct and try out alternative systems of units---mind-broadening and you can get a different perspective on physics. And in several specialties they do this anyway because it is almost a precondition to being able to think. Whether QFT or Gen Rel they all have their own...

I use a digital pedometer which has pace counting gigure. Four items are displayed: Pace number , pace number by mile, kilometer as well as consumed calories. I need help in finding out : 1. What is the relationship between distance in kilometers and calories burnt? 2.While the pedometer...

I've always kept myself in pretty good shape, I have all of the exercise equipment at home and actually used them every day, until I damaged my knee over a year ago. Now I wiggle and jiggle in places that I shouldn't be wiggling and jiggling. I need to get back into shape but I just...

Velocity from variable force(spring)? What is the velocity of the mass as it breaks contact with the spring? From part 1 I got: A 1.118 kg block is on a horizontal surface with mu-k = 0.150, and is in contact with a lightweight spring with a spring constant of 715 N/m which is compressed...

I was trying to learn something about vectors in greater dimensions then only 3. I got this exercise and I couldn't get to it. Can anyone help me? "Let n and a be vectors in R n , and let P = {× Î R n: n . (x-a) =0}. Find an equation in x1,x2,...xn such that x = (x1,x2,x3...,xn) Î P if and...

I really need help with this exercise (it's from a course in basic Fourier analysis). It consists of two parts: (i) Let s_0 = 1/2 and s_n = 1/2 + \sum_{j=1}^{n}\cos(jx) for n \geq 1 . By writing s_n = \left(\sum_{j=-n}^{n}e^{ijx}\right)/2 and summing geometric series show that...

Help! A2 physics planning exercise! Is anyone doing the A2 OCR physics planning exercise? I have just finished the AS one that soooooo many people have been talking about (I am resitting it from last year!) but now have the A2 one to do. It is the one with the surface temperature of the...

Hi! I have an exercise here that I can't solve. Help please. "One of two cylists cycles in the north-west direction at a speed of 8 m/s making an angle of 53 with the west. The other cyclist cycles in north-east direction at a speed of 6m/s making an angle of 37 with the east. How does the...

i'm having trouble with this: A spherical raindrop has a charge Q = 3*10^-11. The potential at the surface is V = 500 V (V = 0 infinitely far away). a) Determine the radius of the drop. My first thought was to consider the raindrop as a point charge and then integrate the electric...

Medical Students training exercise... First-year students at Med School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In...

I am interested in finding out how often most of us here on PF exercise per week. By exercise I mean deliberate physical activity undertaken to maintain and/or improve fitness. I currently exercise 5 days a week.
