I briefly closed this as a duplicate of physics.stackexchange.com/questions/34561/…, but it seem that the earlier question is not very well defined as was closed. That said, this question currently has two distinct questions which goes against the functional model of Stack Exchange. Please ask one question at a time. – dmckee♦ Dec 15 '12 at 21:20
