Infinite wavelength for the 1D harmonic chain of oscillators corresponds to a uniform translation, but why does it still have a finite phase velocity?

The dispersion for the 1d chain of harmonic oscillators is $nu = sqrt{frac{alpha}{m}} frac{|sin(pi k d)|}{pi}$ Where I'm explicitly not using angular frequencies ($nu = frac{1}{T}, k =...

Does gravitational time dilation happen due to height or difference in the strength of the field?

The reason why you have to tune differently the atomic clocks in GPS is because the GPS is higher or because there is less gravity there, or both? In other...

Given a molecule, can you calculate its heat of vaporization?

Let's take water for example. How can we calculate the heat (enthalpy) of vaporization from first principles? The enthalpy of vaporization $ Delta H_v$ is $$ Delta H_v...

How does rubbing soap on wet skin produce foam, and does it really enhance cleaning?

We tend to rub soap after applying it to the skin. I found it interesting that the mere act of sliding our hands on the wet skin surface produces millions...

Do free electrons in a crystal reflect off lattice planes?

My textbook (Arthur Beiser Intro to Modern Physics) states that "unbound low-energy electrons can travel freely through a crystal since their waves are long relative to the lattice spacing ...
