Why do two pendulums with the same period meet at this angle?

"Two pendulums with the same mass and length $R$ are released from rest. The first pendulum is released from an angle of $theta_1 = -2º$, and the second...

Why the direction of propagation of wave is perpendicular to wavefront at each point

Why is the direction of propagation of a wave perpendicular to the wavefront at each point? I know this sounds intuitively true, but a simple mathematical proof would be very...

Why is Earth's atmosphere made almost entirely of $rm N_2$ and $rm O_2$ molecules rather than any of the nitrogen oxides?

I assume the formation of $rm N_2$ and $rm O_2$ molecules is energetically favorable compared with N2O, NO, and NO2, etc., but are there some more intuitive...

Will the gravity of two non-ionic tungsten atoms at rest a hundred light years apart (many relevant details omitted) eventually draw them together?

The original question was evidently far too long to fit into the title, so I'll post it here in the body:"If two non-ionic tungsten atoms spontaneously popped into existence at...

Why an undoped heterojunction causes potential barrier?

In this image (source) a potential double-barrier was created using GaAs and AlAs lattices (undoped). Why would any potential barrier be formed, if all the bonds...
