Physics Study Guide

DESCRIPTION: This combination of study guide and workbook covers the following essential topics from modern physics:special relativity (concepts and mathematics)blackbody radiation (in-depth coverage)the photoelectric effect (concepts and equations)Schrödinger's equation (thorough solutions to the most basic problems: the step potential, barrier potential, and square well)the Compton effect (including the derivation)Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (in terms of momentum and also energy)the de Broglie relation (and related formulas)Bohr's model of the atom (includes dozens of equations)

This textbook provides everything you need to get through a basic physics course. It guides students through all the essentials with a concise review of the concept, simple illustrations to demonstrate it, worked problems to showcase how to apply it, and a short quiz for self-testing. Whereas other standard books can be overwhelming to students, the author shares what has worked with his own students, trimming back unnecessary detail and focusing on the core basic physical concepts required to gain solid footing. The full range of topics are addressed in a manner that facilitates understanding and will encourage students to continue forward with their learning.

This combination of physics study guide and workbook focuses on essential problem-solving skills and strategies:Fully solved examples with explanations show you step-by-step how to solve standard university physics problems.Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units.Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples.Answers, hints, intermediate answers, and explanations are provided for every practice exercise.Terms and concepts which are essential to solving physics problems are defined and explained.

Introduces physics to science students with a wide range of interests. Unlike many other physics texts, the coverage and emphasis here is influenced by the specific needs of science majors, including those in the life sciences, and thus treats topics such as geometric optics, mechanics of fluids and acoustics. The derivative is introduced in Chapter One and integrals are used sparingly until electricity and magnetism are covered. Entire chapters are devoted to applications of physics covering subjects such as nerve conduction, ionizing radiation and nuclear magnetic resonance, demonstrating the widespread utility of physics and the unity of science. To aid in comprehension, calculations involving calculus are carried out with a good deal of detail and discussion. Each chapter features a checklist of terms to define or explain as well as problems and exercises. Additional problems and exercises are located in the Supplementary Topics section.
