    Wavelength of light in relation to speed

    Hi guys, first ever post. My question is if light travels at the same speed regardless of its wavelength, doesn't this statement seem to contradict itself? If the light simply traveled in a straight line then sure, but different wavelengths i would think mean that a greater distance would...

    Relation between phase space and path integral formulation?

    I am trying to conceptually connect the two formulations of quantum mechanics. The phase space formulation deals with quasi-probability distributions on the phase space and the path integral formulation usually deals with a sum-over-paths in the configuration space. I see how they both lead...

    Generalizing the relation between H(x), F(x) and G(x)

    If H(x)= \int_c^x h(x)dx and H(a) = F(a) - G(a) = \int_c^a h(x)dx and H(b) = F(b) - G(b) = \int_c^b h(x)dx, then does that mean H(x) = F(x) - G(x)? Is the information provided sufficient enough to come to that conclusion?
