Will any solution to the wave equation be a wave in reality?

In the mathematical sense, a wave isany function that moves. In that sense we can consider that any function that complies with the wave equation (let's consider in one...

What does the symmetrization postulate mean for the decomposition of the $N$ particle Hilbert space $mathcal{H}^N$?

Suppose you have $N$ particles, each of which can occupy any of $s$ states. In general, you can write the $N$ particle Hilbert space $mathcal{H}^N$ as a product of $1$...

What happens when a man walks on a canoe? what are the forces acting on canoe and man and how to describe it with law of conservation of momentum?

In my physics class our teacher taught us about this canoe-man problem, where a man walks across a canoe and due to the "law of momentum conservation", the canoe attains...

Why is the creation operator of a particle in the conjugate field operator?

I am learning QFT, and we discussed that to quantize a complex scalar field, we do this:$$begin{align*} phi(x) &= int frac{d^3k}{(2pi)^3} frac{1}{sqrt{2omega_k}} big( a(vec{k}) e^{-ikx} + b^dagger(vec{k})e^{ikx}big) ...

Why does the electron mean free path need to be larger than the mean interatomic distance?

In an article (over 250 citations) on plasma physics I've read a paragraph which I find very confusing. The authors state that there's a minimum mean free...

Is a Curie pendulum an example of a heat engine?

By definition, a heat engine absorbs energy and uses that energy to do work. A Curie pendulum doesn't seem to do work when absorbing that energy. Instead, the magnet is...

How far away were galaxies when they emitted the light we now see?

If we had a way to measure the apparent distance to 13billion light year galaxies (parallax or something) what would it be? The light left the source 13 billion years...
