Simple harmonic motion is an oscillation where both of the following statements are true:

-The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to its displacement from an equili...

Electron volts, like joules, are a unit of energy. This may sound confusing- why two? But think of it this way; length has two possible units- metric (metres) and imperial (inches). We can use either unit...

To understand this question, we have to consider the wave-particle duality of electrons. When passing through a slit, electrons exhibit a wavelike property- they diffract or spread out like a wave passing...

First, we can deduce the equation for beta-plus decay in terms of the nucleons. We know a positron, ß⁺ (antilepton), is produced, so to conserve lepton number an electron neutrino, v_e<...
