hazelm Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 What does p=hk say? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbelosix Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 That is the momentum my dear, k is a wave number generally speaking and h is the Planck constant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbelosix Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 So the wave number k, has to have dimensions of an inverse length because h is an action meaning mv x length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbelosix Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Concise paper, I like papers like this one, they explain physics very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelm Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks, I think. Back to the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbelosix Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 see 2nd paragraph, of quantum mechancs in a nutshell for more detail https://courses.cit.cornell.edu/mse5470/2015_ece4070_mse5470_primernotes_quantum_dj.pdfI have read the whole thing, there are two mistakes made in the paper... Shall I leave it for any others to digest? There are some assumptions made in the paper which simply is not true, but still not a bad primer.

hazelm Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) That is the momentum my dear, k is a wave number generally speaking and h is the Planck constant.All right. k is wave number; h is Planck constant. Now, what is p? Ah, 'p' is the momentum? So, the momentum = the wave number times the Planck constant? Do I have it? All I wanted was to read it in English. With that I knew where to go.

hazelm Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 p is momentumThank you. Hazel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbelosix Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 OK! where are the two mistakes.I will write it up another day as I am a little pressed for time now but will do soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
