What is the reasoning behind 1 step in Einstein's derivation of the Lorentz Transformation

In Einstein's book "Relativity" there is a wonderful derivation of the Lorentz transformation, requiring no more than high school algebra (pp. 117 - 121). It is quite clear but...

Energy spectrum for a step potential

Most of the books tend to give this explanation that for a bound physical system, the energy and momentum eigen values have discrete spectrum and otherwise, they have a continuous...

Dispersion in Rainbows

So I have tried searching for the working of a rainbow. I found many sources and the explanation was clear. I still have a problem though. Since dispersion happens due...

Inverse and Transpose of Lorentz Transformation

I've seen this question asked a few times on Stack Exchange, but I'm still quite confused why the following "contradiction" seems to arise. By definition:$(Lambda^T)^{mu}{}_{nu} = Lambda_{nu}{}^{mu}$$Lambda^T eta...

How do we know chaotic systems are actually chaotic and not periodic?

The usual way to calculate how chaotic a system is would be to measure the divergence rate using the Maximal Lyapunov exponent, but it requires you to wait until infinity,...

Why doesn't the magnetic force formula F=QvB have any constant proportionality?

Forces like the electric force has a Coulombs constant $k_e$ from the Coulomb's law$$F=k_efrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$$, which is based on the vacuum permittivity $epsilon_0$. However,...
