    What happens when cows move rapidly !

    Cows not moving and moving fast. How does this difference impact the image in a modern digital camera? Honestly I haven’t checked it with old day manual camera neither do I remember what impact motion brings into mages taken by such, eg does anyone remember when he/she took a picture of a friend standing in…

  • New forms of Uncertainty Relationships in Quantum Mechanics.

    ΔE.Δt ~ h Δp.Δx ~ h ΔL.Δθ  ~ h * Shouldn’t the constant above be ℏ/2 ? Let us first clear up some air of confusion. The above relations are kind of vague even though look like canonically powerful ways to represent the formal concepts of the Heisenberg Uncertainty relationships. I have myself confused with these at times … with…

  • Schrodinger Equation; Concepts and Problems in Quantum Mechanics.

    A long and technical discourse on Quantum Wave Function. A 64 slide presentation styled discourse on the Quantum Wave Function. It consists of detailed solution of 5 important and interesting problems, apart from a threadbare discussion of the concepts.

  • Quantum Entanglement .. a short primer !

    This fact is inherently, nothing but the concept of Quantum Entanglement. Unlike classical particles which are completely independent of each other the quantum sized objects are not. For physical intuition they are at a very small and subtle level intertwined with each other as if threads are kind of tied onto each other. We can-not…

  • 3 myths of physics, especially in textbooks.

    2. Last year in a text book in Indian High School curriculum, I spotted and corrected with my students, the following: Myth; there are only 3 quarks that have been detected or FOUND/confirmed so far, in nature. Its based on a knowledge that was true more than 3 decades ago. All quarks, 6 of them,…
