dof and dimension

I am lost at this point due to one main trouble... How is a degree of freedom different from the dimension? Dimension: The number of values required to fully determine the scalar motion. Degree of freedom:? Quote: I would like to understand how 3 dimensions of speed emerge from a cross-ratio that ha...

higher math...

Quote: So my question is, what is the point of all the higher mathematics? Beyond using elementary math - Geometry - Trig - Algebra - for their usefulness in manipulating abstract concepts of physical objects, is 'higher' mathematics really worth the study? From the way I see it, this higher math st...

Unity concept...

Hi, Yes that was a truly great insight into things... dazzles me still. Quote: From that, there was one, obvious conclusion: that this "doubling", called an "Octave" in the Law of One material, is just a "displacement of 1", which IS the "unit datum", Larson's...

QM Contd...

Hi everyone, Quote: But I am coming to the conclusion that there is no "wave-particle" duality, at all, and that it is simply an artifact of our perception, and the instruments we use to augment our perception. (It will be a tough concept to explain.) Just musing.... Is this in any way con...

YDSE contd...

I guess my question wasn't framed properly... What I meant to ask was,how is the charged electron detected by the photons,do the photons merely bounce back from the electron as is elaborated in the "Compton scattering"? Quote: 1.Have a source of electron beam[uncharged] 2.Detect the electr...

NEGATIVE INDEX OF REFRACTION

<r>Some updates on the negative index of refraction possibilities...<br/> <br/> Firstly,there is a need for the simultaneous behaviour of a material as a strong diamagnetic AND its electric analog.Since the scientists haven't got a pure material with both the behaviours,they use the materials with e...

further thought on the previous post...

Quote: 3.As we increase the wavelength of the photon used for measuring the electron's presence,once it becomes greater than the slit width,the interference pattern is supposed to reappear on the screen,EVEN THOUGH the electrons are still being measured by the photons.Any guesses as to what is happe...

Quantum Mechanics

<t>While dealing with quantum mechanics,the thought experiments of the variations of the Young's Double Slit experiment are what really makes one think...<br/> <br/> 1.Lasing action...What is the nature of the temporal connectedness of the photons or electrons?In the case of photons,where usually a ...

Evanescent waves...

Hello everyone, There is something about evanescent waves which makes me suspect that legacy science doesn't know the behind-the-scenes thing...These waves are usually found under conditions of total internal reflection, outside the interface of say glass and air i.e. on the side of the air.The ener...

Semiconductors

<t>Dear friends...<br/> <br/> Here are some queries regarding the nature of semiconductors,with respect to RS2:<br/> <br/> 1.What are the properties of semiconductors in general,with respect to their time motion pattern?<br/> <br/> 2.What is the mechanism of operation of a diode?<br/> <br/> 3.How ex...
