Transit Definition and 57 Threads

Hello, I am having a bit of trouble with the following problem: Assuming a built in voltage equal to the bandgap voltage, calculate the slowest possible transmit time for a carrier with 5V reverse bias applied to the GaAs photodiode. I would be able to do this problem without difficulty if...

I am looking for a book/s (yes I know this is the wrong section, but it will probably get more replies here :-p ). I want a book/s that is a big overview of all the transit systems (US and Europe in particular) But I also want a huge emphasis on cars in the US. I do not want a book that was...

How does the principle of equal transit times works? the Bernoulli principle explains lift by high speed = low pressure but these relays on the fact that two particles of air living the same point A will arrive at the same point B at the same time and this is explained by the "principle of...

Well, i know that sun transit time is when the center of the sun crosses an imaginary line (the meridian) in the sky of the observer (or the given city). But, what I'm not understanding is why the sun transit time is different when we compare Toronto and Boston. They are both relatively close...

I took a look at this video of the transit: http://anon.nasa-global.speedera.net/anon.nasa-global/venus_transit/UV1600_eastlimb2.mov And something just doesn't look right. It appears that Venus changes direction once it comes into full view. I played it foward and backwards, put a...

Hi there I'm looking for a source of the maths that Halley did, and also that of Horrocks so that I can run through it with some Maths/Physics students. Google searches have given many different sites, but none have been that good so far. If anyone could help me with a link, I'd...

Transit of Venus - WHO SAW IT? Who Saw it? I stayed up all night with some of my friends watching movies as we waited for the sun to rise. Then when it started to we realized that the sun we could probably get a better view if we found a open farm field. So we all piled in a car, and I had...
