If we have a standard function like x or x^2 defined between 0 and pi. Then why should we be interested in extending this function to give a Fourier series which resembles this function between 0 and pi? What is the whole purpose of this process? Does it have any real life application or is it...

I'm going through a textbook, on what is pretty much my first course in Quantum mechanics. I've got to a section were it says that in order for a sinusoidal wave function to correspond to a non infinite probability distribution, there must be a range of momentum, or at least more than 1 momentum...
6) REDUCTION OF DURATION? Why are the durations of species of
hominids decreasing over time? The more modern the hominid, the

They have a nominal voltage of 3.7V or 3.6V. They are charged at 4.2V, and disconnected when the charger says 4.0V. Does that mean they are 3.6V when they are empty, or are they overchaged when they are 4.0V? How low in voltage can they go and still have plenty of current? Thanks.

The weak value of an observable A with pre-selected state ##\psi## and post-selected state ##\phi## is defined as:

I see the term o"ptical frequency" in some articles. From Wikipedia I read that it means the whole EM spectrum. But something says to me it may be only the visible part of the spectrum. Now, which definition is correct?
Thanks
Recently it struck me that I'm not sure I understand the weak interaction at all. What causes it to happen? I know that its mediated by the W and Z bosons and has a short range as a result of the large mass these bosons posses, but what does that range refer to? Range from what?!
