Equation for Charge and Frequency: Q=m\omega

AI Thread Summary
The equation Q=mω, where Q represents charge, m is mass, and ω is frequency, raises questions about its validity in physics. It is suggested to represent "exchange charge," but inconsistencies arise when comparing units, as charge is measured in amp-seconds while the right side yields kilograms per second. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity in thread titles, as vague titles can lead to misunderstandings and infractions. Participants emphasize the need for precise communication when posing questions in forums. Overall, the equation's relevance and correctness remain debated among contributors.

Homework Statement



Just the question of an equation.

m is mass
Q is charge and
omega is frequency

Homework Equations



Q=m\omega

The Attempt at a Solution



Has anyone ever seen this equation before?

Q=m\omega

Apparently is it the ''exchange charge'' according to a paper I have been reading. Is this even consistent this equation?

No that is not consistent. In base SI units, charge is give in amp-seconds and the other side of your equation would be kilograms per second.
 
I got infracted for this... apparently this thread wasn't descriptive! LOL

I really don't know how more realistically descriptive it could have been.

The title of your thread could mean many different things. The PF rules (please re-read the Rules link at the top of the page) require you to make your thread title descriptive of the question you are asking in the thread. You should have stated *what* you were asking about in the thread in your title. Please take care to use better titles in the future.
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
