I am currently trying to demonstrate by hand the various Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the product of particles of various spins, using (mostly) the formalism of Young tableaux. For simple cases, so far, it has worked okay (that is, ½x½) , but trying for bigger ones (1x½, 3/2x½ and 1x1, for...
Hi,
I don't know what is the generation number of our solar system. But it is certainly not the first generation of stars. Because the heavy elements that made up the planets must have been synthesized during the supernovae of earlier generation stars.
Let's assume a star massive enough to...
Hello, I was wondering if I could get any help with the following question/thing:
Why does a stream of photons (let's say that one is fired every 3 seconds) at a double slit as shown in Young's double slit experiment create an interference pattern although there is no interference because the...

Why do so many people my age express such a dislike for country music? It's excellent music, in my opinion, yet I've noticed that saying I like country has at times earned me a badge of dislike.
Young moduls can be given as:
Y=(F/A)/(dL/L)
but in area i am confused because sometine for cylindrical shape it is taken as 2(pi)r*L and sometime simply (pi)r^2.
Please deffrientiate these cases:

I've been looking at Paul Langacker's "Grand unified theories and proton decay" for a course on GUTs. I'm stuck with the 16 irrep of SO(10), particularly I don't understand how to prove the statement that the 16 decomposes as 5* + 10 + 1. I can see why it's useful physics...

Must a "Hot Jupiter" be relatively young?
A large proportion of exoplanets so far discovered are "hot Jupiters," large gas giants orbiting very close (< 0.1 AU) to their primaries.
It seems to me that a gas giant orbiting at such a close distance ought to experience significant friction as...
I remember when I was young I saw people emptying the water from their tanks using a flexible tube(without any pumps or other mechanical device). If I am not wrong, you first fill the tube with a little bit of water and make a U shape,then you close the 2 ends with your thumbs and put the tube...

Hi I have a problem with the following question:
A steel violin string has a cross-sectional area of 0.2*10^-6 m^2 and is under tension 83N. If its length under tension is 35cm, find its original length.
I can not seem to solve the question without needing the value of young modulus...
Erm, why do you use a single slit initially? - to produce 2 coherent non-identical sources, but I don't understand why you can't just diffract the beam through the double-slits initially, I thought this would produce 2 coherent sources.
Thanks in advance... =]
If you disregard the diffraction pattern, the intensity distribution of the Young experiment with light (take two slits) gives an infinite intensity (in the sense that it doesn't decrease for an infinite height: the intensity distribution is given by a cos² function with a constant amplitude)...

I am pretty confused about how to construct states to make symmetric / anti-symmetric combination so I would like to ask some questions.
