Ulysses by James Joyce (1882–1941) has a surprising amount of 19th-century, classical physics. The physics community is familiar with the name James Joyce mainly through the word “quark” (onomatopoeic for the sound of a duck or seagull), which M[...]

When students are learning to use math in physics, one of the most important ideas they need to learn is that equations are not just calculational tools; they represent relationships between physical variables that change together (co-vary). How[...]

What happens when a perfectly elastic ball collides with a completely inelastic ball? It is shown that the outcome depends on the stiffness of each ball. A standard textbook problem in mechanics is to calculate the outcome of a head-on collision[...]

The typical sound of George Lucas’ laser blaster in the “Star Wars” series is well known. What does a laser blaster in “Star Wars” sound like, and why? Here we show a simple way to produce this sound by using low-cost lab material, like a spring[...]

This article is about a famous physics course taken by thousands of students at Amherst College in the 1950s, designed and taught by its distinguished instructor, Arnold B. Arons. There are very few of us left who have taken the course. The youn[...]

We investigated a very long chain falling from the pile on the edge of a table to the floor both experimentally and theoretically. In this very simple and novel configuration we showed that the velocity of the chain quickly converges to its asym[...]

The aim of this study is to illustrate how to enrich resource rooms with specialized instructional materials for the concepts of “transparent,” “semi-transparent,” and “non-transparent.” Given the special situations of students with learning dis[...]

Physics is not a very popular subject at German schools, and several studies indicate that girls are less interested than boys in the traditional physics curriculum. To address this problem, physics education should be up to date, context orient[...]

The refractive index is a number that governs how light changes its direction of propagation as it enters one material medium from another. This phenomenon is known as refraction and the angles of incidence and refraction of light, referred to t[...]

In introductory texts, some “special” rays are selected to draw the image produced by lenses and mirrors. After teaching special rays, students usually ask how to draw an arbitrary ray. One method for drawing an arbitrary ray is the tilted princ[...]

Gravity bends light. One can argue this by reasoning that a beam of light should travel in a curved path when viewed from within an accelerating frame of reference, and then invoking Einstein’s principle of equivalence, which asserts that the ef[...]
