Article
As I type, it is late September 2021, and emails are streaming into my inbox about my university’s return to in-person instruction in just a few weeks. I wish I could say I feel excited or relieved or grateful for all of the incredible care that[...]

A common homework problem in many introductory physics courses is similar to the following.
Article
Learning to create, use, and evaluate models is a central element of becoming a scientist. In physics, we often begin an analysis of a complicated system with highly simplified or toy models. In introductory physics classes, we tend to use them [...]
Article
In an earlier article I argued that much of what used to be called “modern physics” stems from the intersection of two earlier technologies: high vacuum and high voltage. In this article I will discuss the induction coil, invented in the 1830s, [...]

Nearly everyone, including physics students, finds rainbows to be fascinating and much has been written about them. For example, in a 2020 paper, Kenneth Ford sets forth the basic theory of rainbows created by water droplets at the level of geom[...]
Article
In this work, an easy-to-set-up demonstration about electromagnetic induction is presented, where a simple toy electric motor is transformed into a musical instrument. With this creative way to mix physics and music, it is expected to engage and[...]
Article
Calculating the duration of a motion when the applied net force on the moving body changes with time is usually a challenging task. In most cases, the only example of the duration of a motion when the acceleration is not constant presented to in[...]
Article
In this paper we explain how to build a very sensitive force table using 3D-printed parts. The key component of this apparatus is a simple sensitive pulley that, together with the other components, can be printed in one day (one hour per pulley,[...]
Article
The new normal imposed on us by the COVID-19 pandemic restricted the traditional ways we would teach high school students who are eager to participate in introductory astronomy projects on our university campus. This turned out to be a blessing [...]
Article
The National Academy of Science has published studies showing strong scientific evidence that global warming is caused by human consumption of fossil fuels, yet recent surveys have shown young adults in the U.S. are disengaged or disagree with t[...]
Article
A simple experimental setup using a smartphone and a pair of speakers is presented to perform an accurate experiment on interference of two point sources. The proposed experiment allows simple but interesting measurements to be done to introduce[...]
Article
White light refracted by a glass edge or a prism might be split into the colors of the rainbow but, when restricted by a suitable arrangement of edges, might also yield a sequence of colors complementary to the rainbow. We studied the creation o[...]
Article
Often students think of ECGs (electrocardiograms) as a diagnostic tool for heart attacks. In this activity, students are able to develop an approach to examine an ECG in order to determine what is known as the mean electrical axis (MEA) of their[...]
Article
George M. Hopkins (1842-1902) wrote a series of articles on demonstrating physical phenomena in the Scientific American during the last years of the 19th century. These were collected in a book, Experimental Science, that was first published in [...]
Article
Various experiments on vibrating gas columns and on frequency measurements with glasses and pipes have been presented in recent years in the “iPhysicsLabs” column. The determination of the sound velocity in different gases by measuring the sound[...]
Article
For the past dozen years, the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill has been developing a unique, survey-level astronomy curriculum, primarily for undergraduate students, with the goal of significantly boosting STEM enrollments on a [...]
