    Splitting infrared and visible light.

    Hi all, is there an efficient way of splitting both of these waves of sunlight?? I've came across http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/classroom_activities/herschel_example.html and thought of an idea of using a prism. But, do you think that is is efficient? ( I'm going to use...

    Exchange Splitting: Atomic Orbitals, Zeeman Effect & More

    I would like to understand what is "exchange splitting" in atomic orbitals. For which orbitals does it happen ? Is there any similarity between this phenomenon and the Zeeman effect (which breaks the degeneracy on the magnetic quantum number and then splits the orbital into sub-orbitals having...

    Why don't pure mathematicians like to split derivatives?

    I remembered the other day that a while back my teacher (can't remember what topic, think it was implicit differentiation) had something like dy/dx and said to us that you could times both sides of the quation by dx as long as you don't tell any pure mathematician. I was wondering why pure...

    Splitting a single light source into two out-of-phase sources?

    I've been contemplating an experiment on a 1-dimensional system which would require a single light source to be split into two separate sources which are exactly out of phase with each other. The idea is to focus the beams near each other (but not overlapping) along the 1D object. Any phonons...
