How to calculate properties of a coupled electromagnetic / mechanical oscillator?

I'd like to study a class of systems which are (essentially) coupled electromagnetic/acoustic oscillators which can act as antennas for an electromagnetic field, but also can vibrate mechanically with resonant...

Why do distant object look larger when viewed from an elevated position?

Can anyone explain the principle that results in a distant object being perceived as larger when viewed from an elevated position? eg: I notice when viewing a Shipping Vessel from...

What does speed of an object relative to water mean?

A swimmer swims with the velocity 1.25 m/s "relative to water". He has to swim across the river which is 150 meters wide. If his direction of velocity is perpendicular...

How are class II force field cross-terms derived?

In some class II force fields, there are cross-terms that characterize bond-bond, bond-angle interactions and others. Example of equations below: $$sum_{bond-bond}^{}k_{bb}(b-b_{0})(b^{'}-b^{'}_{0})$$$$sum_{bond-angle}^{}k_{ba}(b-b_{0})(theta^{'}-theta^{'}_{0})$$ My question is: how do I...

Confusion over spontaneous symmetry breaking

Consider a complex scalar field with Lagrangian$$mathcal{L} = (partial_{mu} bar{phi})(partial^{mu} phi) - V(phi)$$with potential$$V(phi) = frac{1}{4}lambda(bar{phi}phi - eta^2)^2$$The model is invariant under global ...

Understanding Quantum Spin as a Vector And Spin Operators

I just started learning quantum physics and there is a particular notion confusing me. While reading McIntyre book, he suggests I find the matrix representation of the $S_n$ operator,...

Aim lower from high elevation?

I've heard you must aim lower relative to the target (possibly below it??) when shooting from an elevated position versus shooting from the same level as the target. How can...

Why does the scattering length it take the form it does?

In partial-wave analysis, and particularly $s$-wave scattering, the scattering length can be defined as[lim_{krightarrow 0} kcot(delta_0)=-frac{1}{a_0}.]My question is why is it defined this way? i.e. what is the...

Single photon interferometry

I am always surprised by the subtleties that are embedded in the wave/particle dualism. That is why I read again and again the paragraph in the Dirac's classical text dealing...
