Hello, Say you have a function f on the domain R^n, and an integral transform P which integrates f over all possible straight lines in R^n. I am lead to believe that the range of this is R^(2n), or a tangent bundle, which I am having MASSIVE problems visualising! Am I right in saying the...

The modes of a circular drum head are described by Bessel functions and sines and cosines, but without getting into all that, one can making the following statement: the nodes are circles concentric with the center of the drum, and are also evenly spaced lines that run through the center of the...

Who can help me call BS on the physics of something I just watched on TV. Ok let me clarify that statement, of course 90% + of what's on TV is BS but this particular show is a documentary style that so far seemed reasonably well grounded in fact (though at times somewhat contrived). The show...

http://library.thinkquest.org/10796/ch1/ch1.htm I have some down time for the next 3 months and figured I might as well do something constructive and teach myself physics. I am doing so on thee above website, but question 2 on section 3 has me stumped. This section is about when and how...

Hi guys. Right now I'm 14 years old. All my friends say I have a big head, and quite frankly I do (I'm referring to physical size not actual having a big ego). I'm really tall for my age too, I'm 6'3. I was wondering if it's natural for people to have a big head an grow out of it. When I was...

if you stood on a mountain would you be able to look straight ahead with a powerful telescope and see the back of your head? or would you just look out into space?

Man I hate forgetting. What I've done so far is log my study times to optimize my spacing. The logs are put on the first page of my binders. Let's say on Day 1. You learned a new concept, the class took 1 hour. You go home and do the 3 hours of practice homework. How long will it take on...

Trying to get my head around some basic exterior calculus concepts So #1 - 1-form or covector the grad is a covector / 1-form defined as something that combined with a vector takes it to a scalar, for example divergence is a scalar which is the dot-product of a function with its grad (e.g...

Hi there! I was trying to solve an equation but got very perplexed by the fact that a certain number x=0 is both a solution and no solution: Here´s the equation: (x-a)[(x-a)^2+y^2+z^2]^{-3/2}+(x+a)[(x+a)^2+y^2+z^2]^{-3/2}=0 assume y=z=0: Now, the equation becomes...

So I know I am getting in over my head here, which is why I haven't started anything. I have never done any advanced electronics work, but I know what resistors, capacitors, ICs, and the like are. I can't design a circuit aside from a switch and an LED, but I can build them. Ok, enough of that...

Im in 2nd year of math now...so I know algebra but I was reading this from this website: "Substitution Every time we replace a part of an expression with a value or another expression, we are using the technique of Substitution. And, every time a substitution is performed, parentheses...

As far as i know, a dimension is basically spatial parameters in which "stuff" can move. I think that what bugs me the most about physics is that we know the what but not always the why... obviously this is not anyone's fault especially because finding out why things are the way they are is much...

So in a tape recorder, the quantity of magnetic moment imparted to a unit area of magnetic tape is not a linear function of the applied magnetic flux; the transfer function looks kind of like a cumulative distribution function, if that makes sense. So if one just ran an audio signal directly...

My questions are about the classic Franck-Hertz experiment where electrons are given energy by an accelerating voltage. These collide with mercury atoms, raising their internal energy. The electrons are then left with insufficient energy to overcome the retarding voltage of a collector plate...

I was wondering, I have heard that watching a blinking light can give you a head ack and a seizure. Why does that happen because our computer screens and tvs, are just blinking lights. They blink at about 60-80 times a second.

Help with Allen Head Cap bolts... Hi, Received today a new headphone amp. It is aluminium construction and uses 4 allen cap bolts at each end to hold the case together. It is all good (was cheap), but the bolts used are clearly low quality and don't look right. I would like to replace them...
