Photon absorbtion and reemission in water vapor

The real question: Water vapor absorbs photons at 950nm -- does that mean that it reemits a photon at 950nm later, or does it heat up, emit photons at a...

What would happen to matter within a wormhole that closes?

We're not sure if wormholes can be held open, but we know they can exist, at least on quantum levels. I just watched a video where a physicist mentions that...

Holonomic constraints and degrees of freedom

Wikipedia and other sources define holonomic constraints as a function $$ f(vec{r}_1, ldots, vec{r}_N, t) equiv 0, $$ and says the number of degrees of freedom in...

Wavefunction without any basis

I know that we can pick a set of basis (discrete or continuous) to represent the wave function. Can we represent a wave function without using any basis? If no,...

Two different interpretations of Feynman's path integral?

In quantum mechanics, we have Feynman's path integral:begin{eqnarray}langle x_{f},t_{f}| x_{i},t_{i}rangle = int {cal D}x expbigg{(}iint_{t_{i}}^{t_{f}}dt, L(x,dot{x}) bigg{)}tag{1}label{1}end{eqnarray}Here, the notation means:$$|x,trangle = e^{frac{i}{hbar}tH} |xrangle$$...
