Summary
Summary
Physics is our attempt to conceptually grasp all the happenings around us. Then, realising that concepts are the free creations of the human mind helps us develop proper understanding of a subject, especially during formative stages.
This introductory book on Physics presents careful analysis of the developments of basic concepts for the beginners. It is written in a way that stimulates students and creates a sustained interest in Physics so that studying the subject is enjoyable and satisfying. The physical concepts are explained clearly enough for anyone to understand. In this text, the exercises are provided in three different categories, namely, as questions, as problems, and as multiple choice questions. The first category of exercises contains thought provoking and descriptive questions. The second category of exercises involves numerical computations. The third category of exercises, of multiple choice questions, provides a reader with a flavour of the currently popular mode of examination.
Intended for the introductory-level college physics courses, the book will also be an invaluable resource for the students preparing for various competitive examinations.
Key Features Readers can modify the given situation to design questions and problems. Solved examples provide quantitative as well as qualitative features of physical situations encountered in the real life. Students will be able to visualise the applicability of the laws of physics.
Author Notes
Sanjay Moreshwar Wagh, PhD, is Director of the Central India Research Institute at Nagpur. He proposed that light consists of momentumless quanta of only non-kinetic and non-potential energy. The equality of inertia and gravitational mass of a body is explained by him in a general manner. Dr. Wagh also proposed the emission origin for the wave phenomena and universal theory of relativity. Dr. Wagh is associated with many national and international societies of scientists and professionals.
His research area includes theoretical astrophysics, image processing, fundamental physical interactions, nano-scale phenomena, Joshi effect, category theory, and physics of sports.
Dilip Abasaheb Deshpande, PhD, is former Director of PCD Institute of Computer Studies and Research, Nagpur. He is also a member of the Governing Council and Emeritus Professor at the Central India Research Institute, Nagpur. Earlier, he served as a member of the Board of Studies in Physics of the Nagpur University. A fellow of the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers, and a life member of the Indian Science Congress Association, The Indian Association of Physics Teachers, and Indian Physics Association, he has published over 40 research papers in journals of international repute. Professor Deshpande is also the author of many books on physics.
His research interests include ferroelectrics and thermal analysis.
