Hi guys, I'm reading a book 'the theoretical minimum: special relativity and classical field theory'. In chapter 1.3, author explains the general Lorentz transformation.
He said "Suppose you have two frames in relative motion along some oblique direction, not along any of the coordinate axes...
Hello guys. I have a question for one of postulates of relativity. Consider there are three observers (called A, B, and C) in x-direction only. A is at rest. B is moving to the left relative to A with velocity 0.7c. C is to the right relative to A with velocity 0.7c. Then when A sees B or C...
In statistical mehcanics(pathria, 3rd edition), I have some questions for ideal fermi and bose gases. The textbook handles the approximation for z(=e^βµ) and nλ^3 (n=N/V, λ : thermal de Broglie wavelength). It considers the cases that z<<1, z~1, nλ^3~1,<<1,→0 and so on. In here, I am confused...
If we arrange the polarization spherically, Does it make a uniformly charged sphere radius of R?? If right, How can I find out \vec{P}(\vec{r}) which results in the constant charge density \rho?
Homework Statement
A homogeneous hollow cylinder (mass M, radius R) is in the gravitational field and a horizontal axis through the center P rotatably mounted (central axis of the cylinder is fixed and can be rotated). A small, homogeneous solid cylinder (mass m, radius r) is rolling inside...
