What is the relation of the arrow of time and entropy according to thermodynamics?

What part of double slit mystery remains considering single slit can produce interference pattern as well? Does holography not fully explain those patterns behind any number of slits as a sort of "encoded image" of the slit(s)? Does the word "focus" have any meaning in these kinds of experiments?

I have some doubts about whether Planck's relation (E=hf) applies to radio waves. This has been bugging me because trying to apply Planck's relation to radio frequency results in some inconsistencies that I've been unable to resolve. BTW, I have no physics training, so please go easy on me...

NO TEMPLATE, MISPLACED HOMEWORK Summary: What are the values of constants in power-law fluid relation when the fluid behaves as an ideal fluid, a Newtonian fluid and a non-Newtonian fluid? τ = A(du/dy)^n +B Where A, B and n are constants that depend upon the type of fluid and conditions...

Hey! :o Let $K$ be a field. Suppose that there is an element $u\in K$ such that $u^2+1=0$. Show that there is no order relation on $K$ that would make $K$ an ordered field. We have to show that no relation $<$ can exist that satisfies the order axioms, i.e.: Only one of $a < b$, $a = b$, or...

Imagine a Universe where the Hubble parameter is truly a constant, in both space and time. How much smaller would such a Universe be 14 billion years ago compared to today? Using the Hubble parameter in terms of scale factor: ##H(t) = \frac{\dot{a}}{a}## leads to the differential equation...

1. If a gas is kept at constant pressure of 1 atm & the temp. is raised upto the saturation temprature ( 99.97 C ) and just when Tsat is attained the heat transfer is stopped ( Hin & Hout both are 0 , adiabatic conditions ) . Now # If the adiabatic condition is maintained , then on...

Is E the correct answer because I think angular velocity is independent of mass distribution of the object? Thanks

I figured out that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the natural length, but there’s still an unknown change in a quantity( most likely extension).

Dear Experts, I have read from various sources that the temperature of a gas is related to the "average translational kinetic energy" of a molecule of gas. When there are molecules that support motion other than translational ,which may also have rotational and vibrational motion, How does those...

Mentor Note -- Thread moved from the technical forums, so no Homework Template is shown. So, we've conducted an experiment on resistors in a circuit. The theoretical calculation was based of on E-24 series color band table and the measured resistance of the resistor was measured by a meter...

I began by taking E = mc^2 and E = hf , where h is Planck's constant, and then rewrote E as 1/2mv^2. I rewrote f as c / λ, which made hf become h*c / λ. I then set this expression equal to the Kinetic Energy equation 1/2mv^2, which gave me: 1/2mv^2 = h*c / λ I then replaced c on the...

I have no idea how this dispersion relation was deduced, and also what's the meaning of including plus and minus in the formula.

I tried making B vector in direction of D vector with a minus sign and after doing so I got the answer C vector - D vector= -A vector. But it's given as incorrect. I don't know why. Please explain how other options are correct.

I understand that the work done is Change of Energy. W = ∫xixf F dx = ΔEThe force is gradient of potential energy F = -∇U (For conservative forces of course) from here, we can say that change of potential energy is W: ΔU = -W but also ΔU = -W = ΔE I'm little bit lost here.. Can you help me...

Can someone please explain what the tilde represents? We have had no info on this to date. I know it has to do with an equivalence relation but not sure what it represents on its own as in part (a) of the attached. Just want to make sure I'm clear. Thanks!

I'm trying yo verify the relation \begin{equation} [D_{\mu},D_{\nu}]\Phi=F_{\mu\nu}\Phi, \end{equation} where the scalar field is valued in the lie algebra of a Yang-Mills theory. Here, \begin{equation} D_{\mu}=\partial_{\mu} + [A_{\mu},\Phi], \end{equation} and \begin{equation}...

My simplistic derivation below for a Class A amplifier shows that an AC signal at the input produces DC, fundamental, and 2nd harmonic terms at the output. This seems to contradict most the information I have found on this - which just states that the output is sinusoidal and of the same...

It is common to write e.g photon two point function in terms of manifest transverse and longitudinal form factors with lorentz structure factored out, e.g $$\Pi^{\mu \nu} = (g^{\mu \nu} - q^{\mu} q^{\nu}/q^2)T_T + q^{\mu} q^{\nu}T_L,$$ where mu and nu are polarisation indices. How do I relate...

Chemical potential is defined as the change in energy due to change in the number of particles in a system. Let we have a system which is defined by the following Hamiltonian: $$H = -t \sum_i^L c_i^\dagger c_{i+1} + V\sum_i^L n_i n_{i+1} -\mu \sum_i^L n_i$$ where ##c^\dagger (c)## are creation...

Looking into the infinitesimal view of rotations from Lie, I noticed that the vector cross product can be written in terms of the generators of the rotation group SO(3). For example: $$\vec{\mathbf{A}} \times \vec{\mathbf{B}} = (A^T \cdot J_x \cdot B) \>\> \hat{i} + (A^T \cdot J_y \cdot B)...

When learning about chirality I was very surprised to find that for QED and QCD the decay modes that would produce 2 particles with the same chirality had a Matrix Element of 0, which I took to mean that angular momentum was being conserved. Even the W only decay into RH antiparticles and LH...

Dear all, I'm within my Ph.D. studies in laser engineering and most of the details are rather new to me. Working on short pulse systems, my advisor told me some times about the relation of the output coupler transmissivity and the outcoupled pulse length, but more as a rule of thumb. According...
