AND WERE ANOTHER GAMMA ?? 2 see my answer to Anderson where the hell you see a gamma factor in** his** (your** ) formula for photon momentum ??! what happens to gamma while v= c !!!!

Since momentum is a vector, a better expression is p = hbar k, where k is the wave vector since |k| = 2pi/lambda, |p| = h/lambda You must be pretty ignorant of physics since you didn't know this. > > it is as well m c No. > see the Plank momentum !! 'Planck momentum' is a unit, equal to 6.52485 kg m/s. This is about the momentum of a rifle bullet, a gigantic momentum compared to that of a photon, which for visible light is in the order of 10^-27 kg m/s. The units 'Planck mass' and 'Planck momentum' are related through the equation p_planck = m_planck * c So what about the Planck momentum? > so > > were the hell do you see > > A GAMMA FACTOR TO MAKE IT 'RELATIVISTIC '???!!! > ( what is that gamma factor wile V=c ??!!!) Why would you like to have a 'gamma factor' in the photon's momentum? The frame dependency is taken care of through the lambda. It transforms 'relativistic' if you use the relativistic Doppler shift. -- Paul http://home.c2i.net/pb_andersen/
From: spudnik on 19 May 2010 23:04 depends upon which frame of reference, not neccesarily one of A's or B's; I know, that is totally elementary, dood. what ever, the one thing that is not approachable is the speed of light -- not encroachable, at any rate, unless you happen to be a photon with no momentum. > What kind of lunacy prompted Einstein to say > the speed of light from A to B is c-v, > the speed of light from B to A is c+v, > the "time" each way is the same? thusNso: which has more decimal places: the integer value of Avagadro's No., or the surfer's canonical value of pi? thusNso: "infinite descent & more" is just a contradiction of some sort, which assuredly is plausible for such a negative conjecture/theorem. why is unique factorization problematic for these non-allowed integral values (assuming, Fermat was correct, for once ?-) whether mod arithmetic Day One is inadequate, I don't know enough of it to say. > no problem with quadratic reciprocity, though. thusNso: twins are always of the form, 6n plus and minus one? thusNso: on the wayside, please, attempt to "save the dysappearance" of Newton's God-am corpuscular "theory," by not using them in equations with "momentum (equals mass times directed velocity)." thusNso: actually, receding glaciers are probably better for rafting, compared to advancing ones, iff there's more water. thusNso: can one tell a priori that a black surface will absorb more infrared, since it is invisible in the first place, invoking, perhaps, blackbody curves (and, there are "line spectra" for both absorption & emmission) ?? I wish folks like Y'know and y'Know would at least *try* to write their syllogistical theories in terms of, "There Are No Photons?" just this afternoon, a lecturer showed a slide with a graph of "phonons from 0 to over 1 teracycles;" is that the sound of light? http://www.xs4all.nl/~johanw/PhysFAQ/General/LightMill/light-mill.html thusNso: I like all three of those; note that there is a raw infinity of trigona, two of whose edges are perpendicular to the other edge, as far as spherical trig goes, and I really like those "half lunes." --y'know dot the surfer's value of pi dot com period semicolon & I mean it! http://\\:btty

I looked at your website; are you sure it's not steganogrphy? I don't know, becuase I have never been able to see one of those -- don't tell me, how! Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - |
