This book is a collection of some 400 physics problems, with hints on their solutions, and answers. The physics covered encompasses all areas studies by final-year (advanced level) students in schools and high schools. The author has concentrated on presenting interesting (and to some extent unusual) problems which can be solved using the physical principles normally taught in advanced school courses. By working through the questions, the student will become adept at selecting and applying physical principles appropriate to any particular problem. Problems for Physics Students will provide stimulation and practical help not only for those preparing for pre-university examinations in physics, but also for first-year physics and engineering students studying at universities and other institutions offering first-degree courses. Teachers of physics will find this an invaluable sourcebook for ideas to generate discussion, and for unusual problems to stimulate interest.

A biography of Einstein and all his work.
(source: Nielsen Book Data)

In this book the author sets out to describe and discuss the philosophical foundations and conceptual problems encountered in the theory of quantum physics. The book describes the basic ideas of quantum physics and discusses both the long standing and the more modern conceptual problems. It then goes on to discuss the 'Measurement Problem' which arises when quantum physics is taken to be the fundamental theory of physics, applicable to large-scale physical systems as well as to atomic phenomena. Various attempts to resolve the resulting contradictions have led some physicists to suggest that human consciousness plays a unique role in the physical world and others to postulate that the physical universe is continually splitting into a huge number of copies of itself. Recent suggestions that quantum physics might be capable of explaining so-called paranormal phenomena are critically reviewed.

A Review of Undergraduate Physics This book presents a clear summary of most of the material covered in an American undergraduate program in physics. It should be especially useful to: * Graduate students, or advanced undergraduates, who are preparing to take a comprehensive physics examination.* Physicists and physics students who want a concise, unified treatment of the basic ideas and methods of physics.* Engineers and physical scientists who would like to see more advanced treatments of the concepts they encountered in their undergraduate physics courses. There are six chapters: mechanics, relativity, electricity and magnetism, optics, quantum mechanics and thermal physics. In each, the important physical ideas are applied to the solution of problems at the level of first-year graduate qualifying exams. Additional problems (with brief answers) are given at the end of each chapter.
