Does anybody know any neat measurements one can do to characterise a surface? I'm thinking generally of rough surfaces such as the ones you come across in epitaxial systems.
In other words:
If I have two ensembles of surfaces, what is the best method to use to determine whether the same...
Hey just need a quick clarification here.
I am reading conflicting arguments. One argument states that to find the nodal surfaces of an orbital you take the result of n-1 the other argument states that the number of nodal surfaces of an orbital is equal to n.
Can someone please clear this...
[SOLVED] Parametric Surfaces and Their Areas
Hello,
I am having problems visualizing a concept. First I will post my question as it is given in Jame's Stewart's Fourth Edition Multivariable Calculus text, Chapter 17, section 6, question 17.
Find a parametric representation for the given...
black surfaces apparently absorbs all light, that's why it appears black, but does it ever reflect light off its surface?
what if its a polished black suface..we could actually see our own reflection on these surfaces.. so is there light being reflected at all? is there any difference from the...
A positive test charge is placed at the center of a spherical Gaussian surface. What happens to the net flux through the Gaussian surface when the surface is replaced by a cube of the same volume whose center is at the same point? or When the sphere is replaced by a cube of one third the volume...
I have a new question:
"In applying Gauss's Law describe the types(s) of charge distribution for which (a) a spherical gaussian surface is useful and (b) a cylindrical gaussian surface is useful"
please help!
I'm wondering if it is true that any surface can be equated to a weighted sum of a basis of surfaces differring only by genus? I think this is asking whether the path integral formulation for strings is more general.
Thanks.
I am in a materials science class and need to come up with a course project. One thing that interested me was in an article that I read in the paper a while back. It was about the development of some kind of coating that could be applied to surface that could render it permanently sterile. I...
I am trying to learn a little bit more about geometry of surfaces and some differential geometry concepts like principal, gaussian an mean curvatures.
I have found some interesting material at mathworld.wolfram.com but as usual there is a quantity of little incorrect details.
Is anybody...
