THIS is a revised and enlarged version of the author's Laboratory Manual published in 1913. In addition to some fifteen new experiments, introductory paragraphs have been prefixed to each experiment ...

THIS is the third part of a course of practical physics, the two previous ones dealing with heat and general physics. A fourth part, on electricity and magnetism, will complete the work. The optical ...

I don’t know about you, but I look back rather nostalgically on the practical exams that I took as an 18 year old as part of my A-levels in physics and chemistry. At the time, I wasn’t looking forward ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

Tests of quantum weirdness and its potential real-world applications have been recognized with the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics. At some level we are all subject to quantum rules that even Albert ...
