Muh physics savants, how does time dilation work?

[MadSquabbles500]

hawkings may have talked about tme dialtion.

There is a theory that Stephen Hawkings used be able to walk and talk and went by the name of Albert Einstein. What happened was he tried argue with Chuck Norris, and Chuck did not take kindly to it.

 

[MadSquabbles500]

Well you can't see at the speed of light, the "speed of sight" is shit

Yeh for the supposedly the fastest thing in the Universe, Light is kind of slow. It cant even get to Proxima Centauri in time.

One of you nerds answer this. How many photons can one atom give off?

 

[rj144]

One of you nerds answer this. How many photons can one atom give off?

As many as it can.

 

[MadSquabbles500]

As many as it can.

So is there an actual integer number or just randomness.

 

[rj144]

So is there an actual integer number or just randomness.

You can't give off a fraction of a photon, so of course it's an integer. It can give off none or a lot depending on what environment it's in and what energy it's given.

So does an atom have unlimited photons? Or do photons not come from the Atom? I thought photons are given off when an electron jumps clouds or something.

Right, to jump to a higher state requires some energy which could come from a photon. When it decays, it gives off a photon.

Do you have the reality gem?

@Thanos would like to know, as well.

The energy levels of a hydrogen atom are E= -E'/(n^2) where n=1,2,3... so the energy levels are discrete, quanta..

When an electron goes down one level it will emit a photon. So the number of photons that can be emitted is proportional to the energy level of the electron.

What was his name? Lubalong? He would have answered if he were here. He helped me with homework before. A true genius.

He's back

 

[lesnarsneedle]

You are not making sense. How does one "piggy back a beam of light"? Also, how could something with mass travel the speed of light? Your question does not make sense.

It's a theoretical question.

Jesus fucking christ.

So how much photon can an hydrogen atom of an electron ejaculate at each given level.

 

[DataBreach]

In the 5th dimension we call this eavesdropping.

 

[Zanatos333]

So how much photon can an hydrogen atom of an electron ejaculate at each given level.

Each level drop will release a proton corresponding to energy given in the formula E = -E'/(n^2). E' is the ground energy, 13.6 eV.

The energy of photon is actually related to the difference in energy levels though.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Right, you just include the rest mass as in the standard relativistic energy equation. To first order, of course, it's still E = m c^2, however because the mass is so small. So, that equation would still be applicable almost all the time.

we know its applicable because we apply to solar sails -- however, if it did have a resting mass it would exponentially increase the the kinetic energy.

Im not sure if his Heecks model holds up -- or could ever be observed.

Why would it exponentially increase the KE?

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Why would it exponentially increase the KE?

because the current formula does not account for the mass of a photon -- if a photon does have rest mass, then obviously the energy it would transfer would be higher than the that of (h)(f)/c² --- you could just plug in for M in e=mc²

But the mass is so small, it's not going to increase it exponentially.

Actually, it will decrease the KE. With E = h f = m c^2, if the mass is zero then the total energy is actually the KE. If m does not equal zero, the some of the KE has to go into rest mass energy.
