If h-bar is h/2pi then it is approx .16 h. And if h is a fundamental minimum unit of action, what the hell is h-bar? And don't tell me it is one revolution. That does not answer the question. | If h-bar is h/2pi then it is approx .16 h. And if h is a fundamental | minimum unit of action, what the hell is h-bar? Why do you think h is the minimun unit of action instead of hbar?

Because from Planck on down everyone says so. As to h/2pi, is that 2pi --- or 2pi radians? If it is 2pi, I stand on my original qestion. If it is 2pi radians, then I observe the following: 2pi radians is 360 degrees, one revolution. How kosher is it to divide action by degrees?

If you want to think of these constants in terms or a circle, then think on this. h is equivalent to a circle with a circumference of 1. hbar is equivalent to a circle with a radius of 1. A circle with a radius of 1, is known as the unit circle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle | >Why do you think h is the minimun unit of action instead of hbar? | [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] | 2pi radians is 360 degrees, one revolution.

You're too hung on h or hbar representing *something* like a chunk of stuff. What does G, the gravitational constant, represent as a chunk of anything? Likewise, epsilon-naught is called the permittivity of free-space, but Coulomb's law is often written in terms of the constant k = 1/[4*pi*epsilon-naught]. So what does k represent? PD |
