In our world today, scientists and technologists speak one language of reality. Everyone else, whether they be prime ministers, lawyers, or primary school teachers speak an outdated Newtonian language of reality. While Newton saw time and space as rigid and absolute, Einstein showed that time is relative – it depends on height and velocity – and that space can stretch and distort. The modern Einsteinian perspective represents a significant paradigm shift compared with the Newtonian paradigm that underpins most of the school education today. Research has shown that young learners quickly access and accept Einsteinian concepts and the modern language of reality. Students enjoy learning about curved space, photons, gravitational waves, and time dilation; often, they ask for more! A consistent education within the Einsteinian paradigm requires rethinking of science education across the entire school curriculum, and this is now attracting attention around the world. This book brings together a coherent set of chapters written by leading experts in the field of Einsteinian physics education. The book begins by exploring the fundamental concepts of space, time, light, and gravity and how teachers can introduce these topics at an early age. A radical change in the curriculum requires new learning instruments and innovative instructional approaches. Throughout the book, the authors emphasise and discuss evidence-based approaches to Einsteinian concepts, including computer- based tools, geometrical methods, models and analogies, and simplified mathematical treatments. Teaching Einsteinian Physics in Schools is designed as a resource for teacher education students, primary and secondary science teachers, and for anyone interested in a scientifically accurate description of physical reality at a level appropriate for school education.

This book, High School Physics Summary, has been carefully written to summarize the major topics in physics by explaining them with a mindset to help you with revision in physics. This book is very useful to study for a test or an exam.This textbook is a physics teacher which is suitable for students in high schools or secondary schools and students in colleges because it will serve as a quick reminder of import points in physics . It will also serve as a useful tool for students who are preparing for entrance examinations into colleges and universities. The topics covered in this eBook include: Measurement Friction and Viscosity Density and Upthrust Pressure Work, Energy and Power Heat and Temperature Expansion of Solids Linear, Area and Volume Expansivities Field Electricity Particle Nature of Matter Elastic Properties of Solids Vectors Equations of Motion Newton's Law and Linear Momentum Equilibrium of Forces Simple Harmonic Motion (S.H.M) Machines Heat Energy The Gas Laws Wave Motion Sound Wave Reflection of Light at Plane Surfaces - Mirrors Refraction of Light - Prisms and Lens Optical Instruments Dispersion of White Light Electromagnetic Waves Electrolysis Magnets and Electromagnetic Field Alternating Current Circuits - Resistor, Inductor and Capacitor (R.L.C) Series Circuit Models of the Atom Radioactivity Atomic Energy Levels Wave-Particle Duality of Matter Introduction to Electronics. Learners will find these topics well simplified, thereby making physics more interesting. A constructive review of this physics textbook will be highly appreciated from buyers so as to give an overview to others who intend to purchase a copy of it, and also to serve as a form of advice for the author when revising the book.

Fluency with physics fundamentals and problem-solving has a collateral effect on students by enhancing their analytical reasoning skills. In a sense, physics is to intellectual pursuits what strength training is to sports. Designed for a two-semester algebra-based course, Essential Physics provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of physics central to many fields. It omits material often found in much larger texts that cannot be covered in a year-long course and is not needed for non-physics majors. Instead, this text focuses on providing a solid understanding of basic physics and physical principles. While not delving into the more specialized areas of the field, the text thoroughly covers mechanics, electricity and magnetism, light, and modern physics. This book is appropriate for a course in which the goals are to give the students a grasp of introductory physics and enhance their analytical problem-solving skills. Each topic includes worked examples. Math is introduced as necessary, with some applications in biology, chemistry, and safety science also provided. If exposure to more applications, special topics, and concepts is desired, this book can be used as a problem-solving supplement to a more inclusive text.

In a knowledge-based society, research into fundamental physics plays a vital role not only in the enhancement of human knowledge but also in the development of new technology that affects everyday life.The international symposium series Frontiers of Fundamental Physics (FFP) regularly brings together eminent scholars and researchers working in various areas in physics to exchange expertise, ideas, results, and new research perspectives. The twelfth such symposium, FFP12, took place at the University of Udine, Italy, and covered diverse fields of research: astrophysics, high energy physics and particle physics, theoretical physics, gravitation and cosmology, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, computational physics, and mathematical physics. Importantly, it also devoted a great deal of attention to physics education research, teacher training in modern physics, and popularization of physics. The high scientific level of FFP12 was guaranteed by the careful selection made by scientific coordinators from among 250 submissions from 28 countries across the world. During the three days of the conference, nine general talks were delivered in plenary sessions, 29 invited talks were given in specific topic areas, and 59 oral presentations were made. This book presents a selection of the best contributions at FFP12 with the aim of acquainting readers with the most important recent advances in fundamental physics and in physics education and teacher development.

This second edition is ideal for classical mechanics courses for first- and second-year undergraduates with foundation skills in mathematics.

As per the CBSE course structure, this well written textbook is meant for Class XII of Senior Secondary Schools (under the 10 + 2 pattern of education). It will also fulfill the requirement of various examinations faced by the students at 10 + 2 level. The primary objective of this book is to help students develop a clear and logical understanding of the concepts of physics. The pedagogy followed in the book would help the students to have a firm grip on the fundamentals of physics. The subject matter has been presented in simple language with a wide coverage from introductory to advanced level. This title includes: 450 solved numerical problems; 300 unsolved numerical problems for practice; 550 very short questions with answers; 750 multiple choice questions with answers; and, questions from last seven years' CBSE examination papers. Besides this, each chapter contains a Summary that reviews the important concepts and equations. Questions asked in various examinations - CBSE, Medical and Engineering - have been carefully embedded into various chapters as their parts.
