How can gravity affect light?

I understand that a black hole bends the fabric of space time to a point that no object can escape. I understand that light travels in a straight line...

Interference of orbital electron wavefunctions

Any electron in an atom is described as a standing wavefunction in a potential well. In multielectron atoms, when an electron in any orbital beyond 1S² is described, is it...

Electric Battery

Some say that the battery supplies charge, some say that it only maintains potential difference, I've also heard that it maintains an electric field in the wire. I'm confused. What...

Does the existence of soft Goldstone mode makes a topological superfluid unstable?

When people talk about topological order and Majorana fermions in a BCS superfluid, do they admit the existence of a massless Goldstone mode? (As I've heard that soft Goldstone mode...

Can atmospheric humidity act as a cloud chamber?

According to wikipedia vapor supersaturation is relatively common (20-40% of the time) in the upper troposphere. Assuming perfect conditions (such as sufficient visual contrast and no wind),...

A single spatial mode whose associated harmonic oscillator is in its $n$th excited state unambiguously contains $n$ photons?

I am reading the introduction to the textbook The Quantum Theory of Light, third edition, by Louden. When discussing the photon, the author says the following:The idea of the photon...

Electric Quadrupole Moment of the Deuteron. 1/4 factor

Sometimes in books I use to see this expression$$widehat{Q}_{0}=left(3 z^{2}-r^{2}right)=sqrt{frac{16 pi}{5}} r^{2} Y_{20}(theta, phi)$$for quadrupole electric moment of the deuteron but sometimes i can see$$widehat{Q}_{d}=frac{1}{4}...

Quantization of $c$-number Dirac-Bracket

I have a question concerning the quantization of phase-space variables $(q_1, q_2, q_3, p_1, p_2, p_3)$ with the Hamiltonian $$H = frac{3}{2}(p_1^2+p_2^2 +p_3^2)$$ and the following...

Why does Poincare symmetry work to describe the particles even though space seems inhomogeneous?

Poincare transformation consists of translation, rotation, and boosting. And by assuming the physical quantities are invariant and equations are covariant under the transformations, we build the models on particles. The...
