### What really is the Magnetic Force on a wire?

I have a doubt regarding the significance of a force on a wire. Well, first of all, I know that if I have a particle and if there are several forces acting over it, then we can compute one total force ...

### Derivative of $\epsilon$ in Lennard-Jones equation

I just want to calculate the derivative of epsilon for the following Lennard-Jones equation: LJ = $4\sqrt{\epsilon_{ii} \epsilon_{jj}}$ $[(\sigma/ r)^{12}-(\sigma/r)^{6}]$ with respect to ...

### How does relativity explain gravity, without assuming gravity [duplicate]

I have seen the "objects pull down on space-time" explanations, but they assume a "pull down" force themselves. Could anyone explain the space-time explanation without assuming gravity in the first ...

### Interpretation of de Broglie wave

Until what point can the de Broglie wave be thought as a real wave? I mean, is it made of something? What amplitude does it have? Is it a sine wave? How can it be related to the wavefunction of the ...

### How does gravity effects both time and light if they have no mass [duplicate]

I've been reading about how black holes can effect both time and light with gravity. So I was wondering, doesn't something have to have mass to be effected by gravity? And if so, does this mean both ...

### What is the reason that relativistic corrections for hydrogen atom work?

Here I cite part from Sidney Coleman's lectures on Quantum Field Theory: It is a phenomenal ﬂuke that relativistic kinematic corrections for the Hydrogen atom work. If the Dirac equation is used, ...

### 2-D Orientational Order Parameter

I am building a computational model of ellipsoidal cell network formation and I would like to use a particle order parameter to study my model's behavior. I have come across this article Steinhardt, ...

### The units of gain and number of atoms in population inversion in a laser

I am following my university course notes on amplification in laser media, and have come across expressions for the gain of a medium, but the notes are not exactly rigorous... The expression given for ...
