Hi. I wanted to make my A-level unit one physics notes available. I spent many hours trying to master topics such as Newton's Law, kinematics, and energy conservation - and this is presented within these notes. The notes start off easy, but then start to go more in-depth, with questions compiled from many different sources not limited to A-level. They're very math-based, so are useful for mechanics.
A full set of A level physics notes free to download. Detailed notes written by experienced physics teacher covering the core topics of A/AS level physics. Written for the AQA exam board, but should be useful for all other exam boards, including Edexcel, CIE, OCR A, OCR B. You might also consider purchasing the workbooks for essential exam question practice.
An introduction to the quantum Hall effect. The first half uses only quantum mechanicsand is at a levelsuitable for undergraduates. The second half covers more advanced field theoretic techniques of Chern-Simonsand conformal field theories.
An elementary course on elementary particles. This is, by some margin, the least mathematically sophisticated of all my lecture notes, requiring little more than high school mathematics. The lectures provide a pop-science, but detailed, account of particle physics and quantum field theory.
Quantum Field Theory An introductory course on quantum field theory, aimed at first year graduate students. It covers the canonical quantization of scalar, Dirac and vector fields. Videos are also included.
These notes provide an introduction to the fun bits of quantum field theory, in particular those topics relatedto topology and strong coupling. They are aimed at beginning graduate students and assumea familiarity with the path integral.
Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics (ULNP) publishes authoritative texts covering topics throughout pure and applied physics. Each title in the series is suitable as a basis for undergraduate instruction, typically containing practice problems, worked examples, chapter summaries, and suggestions for further reading.
Cambridge International AS and A Level Physics builds on the skills acquired at Cambridge IGCSE (or equivalent) level. The syllabus includes the main theoretical concepts which are fundamental to the subject, a section on some current applications of physics, and a strong emphasis on advanced practical skills.
The emphasis throughout is on the understanding of concepts and the application of physics ideas in novel contexts as well as on the acquisition of knowledge. The course encourages creative thinking and problem-solving skills which are transferable to any future career path. Cambridge International AS and A Level Physics is ideal for learners who want to study physics or a wide variety of related subjects at university or to follow a career in science.
The Radiology Cafe FRCR Physics notes (Third edition) is available to purchase as paperback. You can annotate and bookmark your very own copy of the notes that users have said is an excellent resource for radiology physics revision.
The notes have undergone assessment and critique by physicists around the country as well as extensive user feedback to ensure the most accurate, useful and up-to-date resource for radiology physics revision.
This is a course on the quantum Hall effect, given in TIFR, Mumbai. The first four chapters require only basic quantum mechanics; the final two chapters need techniques from quantum field theory. The full lecture notes are around 230 pages. They are also available to download at the arXiv. Please do email me if you find any typos or mistakes.
If a particle projected with velocity (u) at an angle (Ө) to the horizontal from a point on level ground, the range (R) is defined as the distance from the point of projection to the point at which the particle reaches the ground again. The range (R) can be calculated using the formula:
A ball is thrown from the top of a building, 45 m high above ground level, with an initial velocity of 15 m s-1 in a horizontal direction (Figure: 4). How long does it take to reach the ground? How far from the base of the building is it when it reaches the ground?
I hope you find them useful. If you have extra notes or resources please contribute to the website and help thousands of other people like you. In addition, your name will be written in the credits section of this post.
In addition to warming, many other aspects of global climate arechanging, primarily in response to human activities. Thousands of studies conducted by researchers aroundthe world have documented changes in surface, atmospheric, andoceanic temperatures; melting glaciers; diminishing snow cover;shrinking sea ice; rising sea levels; ocean acidification; andincreasing atmospheric water vapor.
The global atmospheric carbon dioxide(CO2) concentration has now passed 400 parts per million(ppm), a level that last occurred about 3 million years ago, whenboth global average temperature and sea level were significantlyhigher than today. Continued growth in CO2emissions over this century and beyond would lead to an atmosphericconcentration not experienced in tens to hundreds of millions ofyears. There is broad consensus that the further and the faster theEarth system is pushed towards warming, the greater the risk ofunanticipated changes and impacts, some of which are potentiallylarge and irreversible.
If greenhouse gas concentrations were stabilized at their currentlevel, existing concentrations would commit the world to at least anadditional 1.1F (0.6C) of warming over this century relative tothe last few decades (high confidence in continued warming,medium confidence in amount of warming. (Ch.4)
Both physics and numerical modeling simulations generally indicate an increase in tropical cyclone intensity in a warmer world, and the models generally show an increase in the number of very intense tropical cyclones. For Atlantic and eastern North Pacific hurricanes and western North Pacific typhoons, increases are projected in precipitation rates (high confidence) and intensity (medium confidence). The frequency of the most intense of these storms is projected to increase in the Atlantic and western North Pacific (low confidence) and in the eastern North Pacific (medium confidence). (Ch. 9)
Global mean atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)concentration has now passed 400 ppm, a level that last occurredabout 3 million years ago, when global average temperature and sealevel were significantly higher than today (high confidence).Continued growth in CO2 emissions over this century andbeyond would lead to an atmospheric concentration not experiencedin tens of millions of years (medium confidence). The present-dayemissions rate of nearly 10 GtC per year suggests that there is noclimate analog for this century any time in at least the last 50million years (medium confidence). (Ch.4)
Stabilizing global mean temperature to less than 3.6F (2C) abovepreindustrial levels requires substantial reductionsin net global CO2 emissions prior to 2040 relative to present-dayvalues before 2040 and likely requires net emissions to become zeroor possibly negative later in the century. After accounting for thetemperature effects of non-CO2 species, cumulative globalCO2 emissions must stay below about 800 GtC in order toprovide a two-thirds likelihood of preventing 3.6F (2C) of warming.Given estimated cumulative emissions since 1870, no more thanapproximately 230 GtC may be emitted in the future in order toremain under this temperature limit. Assuming global emissions are equal to or greaterthan those consistent with the RCP4.5 scenario, this cumulative carbon threshold would beexceeded in approximately two decades. (Ch.14)
Achieving global greenhouse gas emissions reductions before2030 consistent with targets and actions announced by governmentsin the lead up to the 2015 Paris climate conference would hold openthe possibility of meeting the long-term temperature goal of limitingglobal warming to 3.6F (2C) above preindustrial levels, whereasthere would be virtually no chance if net global emissions followeda pathway well above those implied by country announcements. Actionsin the announcements are, by themselves, insufficient to meet a3.6F (2C) goal; the likelihood of achieving that depends stronglyon the magnitude of global emissions reductions after 2030. (Highconfidence) (Ch. 14)
Accelerated ice-sheet loss: New observations from many differentsources confirm that ice-sheet loss is accelerating. Combiningobservations with simultaneous advances in the physical understandingof ice sheets leads to the conclusion that up to 8.5 feet of globalsea level rise is possible by 2100 under a higher scenario (RCP8.5),up from 6.6 feet in NCA3. (Chapter 12).
The notes available here are great for revision and studying on the go. The A Level Physics content here is equivalent to the Physics required for Advanced Placement. If this is too advanced for you, you can read up on O Level Physics (equivalent to American high school diploma).
This presentation of 8.04 by Barton Zwiebach (2016) differs somewhat and complements nicely the presentation of Allan Adams (2013). Adams covers a larger set of ideas; Zwiebach tends to go deeper into a smaller set of ideas, offering a systematic and detailed treatment. Adams begins with the subtleties of superpostion, while Zwiebach discusses the surprises of interaction-free measurements. While both courses overlap over a sizable amount of standard material, Adams discussed applications to condensed matter physics, while Zwiebach focused on scattering and resonances. The different perspectives of the instructors make the problem sets in the two courses rather different.
The ability to pass physics exams lies in writing and rewriting notes, questions and answers to internalise the concepts, improve on spellings and writing skills . It upon this that you are advised to write and rewrite these notes and read about each topic from all sources possible to widen your knowledge.
