...Measuring the Rydberg Constant and the Bohr Magneton 9/21/2015 Abstract In this lab, the Rydberg constant is found by observing the Balmer Series. With the experiment below, a Rydberg Constant was found to be 10116000 meters-1 with a 7.82% error. The Bohr Magneton is also found, and a value of 6.03*10-24 JT was obtained with a large error. The error can arise from each optical equipment having some fundamental error in its creation. Introduction With the help of atomic physics, quantum mechanics, and optics, the Rydberg constant and the Bohr magneton will be calculated in this experiment. The Rydberg constant is one of the most important constants in atomic physics because of its relation to other fundamental constants in atomic physics, such as the speed of light or Planck’s constant [1]. The Bohr Magneton tells us the magnetic moment of an electron by its angular momentum [2]. Attempting to calculate the Rydberg constant and the Bohr Magneton will inadvertently teach the basis of quantum mechanics, optics, and atomic physics. Atomic spectra of hydrogen, mercury, and helium will be studied in detail along with the Zeeman Effect. Theory In quantum mechanics, labeling often times helps discern descriptions of certain events. To describe the movement and trajectories of an electron in an atom, scientists use quantum numbers to label what is going on. The principal quantum number n, tells the energy level of the electron and the distance from the nucleus. The angular...

...APPENDIX A - PORTERS 5 FORCES Barriers to Entry • Entering of the potential industrialists is easy, if they have the necessary finances, because the cost of obtaining the permit and start operations is very high. However, there is stiff competition among the companies, especially with the pharmaceuticals, which have not only expanded their scope of operations and distribution through mergers and acquisitions, but also have the necessary know how and long experience to combat any new entrant. • The lengthy and cumbersome registration process, spanning up to two years or more, whereby the new companies have to provide the Certificates of Free Sale, (which confirms the approval for the sale of products in US, Europe, Japan etc) ensure the sale of product in the parent company (incase of MNC) and live up to other irrational clauses in the registration form, inhibit the companies from entering. • The pharmaceutical industry is a very capital intensive industry. This requires large amount of investment, and since, we lag behind in the capital industry, and it has to be imported. Thus, limiting new entrants. • With no stress and emphasis on research and development in our country, it is most likely that the new entrants will produce a new form of the generic type, already being produced in abundance. Thus, the absence of any differential advantage over their competitors will further reduce their chances of survival in the industry. • The risk aversive nature of the industrialists...

...The Dynamics of Viral Marketing ∗ Jure Leskovec Machine Learning Department, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA Lada A. Adamic School of Information, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Bernardo A. Huberman HP Labs, Palo Alto, CA 94304 April 20, 2007 Abstract We present an analysis of a person-to-person recommendation network, consisting of 4 million people who made 16 million recommendations on half a million products. We observe the propagation of recommendations and the cascade sizes, which we explain by a simple stochastic model. We analyze how user behavior varies within user communities defined by a recommendation network. Product purchases follow a ’long tail’ where a significant share of purchases belongs to rarely sold items. We establish how the recommendation network grows over time and how effective it is from the viewpoint of the sender and receiver of the recommendations. While on average recommendations are not very effective at inducing purchases and do not spread very far, we present a model that successfully identifies communities, product and pricing categories for which viral marketing seems to be very effective. 1 Introduction With consumers showing increasing resistance to traditional forms of advertising such as TV or newspaper ads, marketers have turned to alternate strategies, including viral marketing. Viral marketing exploits existing social networks by encouraging customers to share product information with their friends...

...FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENTS AND THE INDIAN STOCK MARKET K.S. Chalapati Rao, K.V.K. Ranganathan and M.R. Murthy* To facilitate foreign private capital flows in the form of portfolio investments, developing countries have been advised to develop their stock markets. It was suggested that these investments would help the stock markets directly through widening investor base and indirectly by compelling local authorities to improve the trading systems. While the volatility associated with portfolio capital flows is well known, there is also a concern that foreign institutional investors might introduce distortions in the host country markets due to the pressure on them to secure capital gains. In this context, this paper seeks to assess the importance of foreign portfolio investments in India relative to other major forms and to study the relationship between foreign portfolio investments and trends in the Indian stock market during the past four years. Introduction The character of global capital flows to developing countries underwent significant changes on many counts during the 'nineties. By the time the East Asian financial crisis surfaced, the overall size of the flows more than tripled. It stood at US$ 100.8 bn. in 1990 and rose to US$ 308.1 bn. by 1996. The increase was entirely due to the sharp rise in the flows under private account that rose from US$ 43.9 bn. to 275.9 billion during the same period. In relative terms the percentage of private account capital flows...

...Stock Price Reaction to News and No-News: Drift and Reversal After Headlines Wesley S. Chan∗ M.I.T. First Draft: 8/28/2000 This Draft: 5/11/2001 Abstract I examine returns to a subset of stocks after public news about them is released. I compare them to other stocks with similar monthly returns, but no identifiable public news. There is a major difference between return patterns for the two sets. I find evidence of post-news drift, which supports the idea that investors underreact to information. This is strongest after bad news. I also find some evidence of reversal after extreme price movements that are unaccompanied by public news. The patterns are seen even after excluding earnings announcements, controlling for potential risk exposure, and other adjustments. They appear, however, to apply mainly to smaller stocks. I also find evidence that trading frictions, such as short-sale constraints, may play a role in the post-bad-news drift pattern. ∗ I wish to thank Kent Daniel, Ken French, Li Jin, S. P. Kothari, Jon Lewellen, Andrew Lo, Sendhil Mullainathan, Dimitri Vayanos, and Geoffrey Verter for many stimulating discussions, and the members of the MIT PhD Finance seminar for their helpful comments.
