{"product_id":"2940150616585","title":"Feynman Lectures Simplified 1C: Special Relativity and the Physics of Light","description":"Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. I absorbed all I could. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeynman Simplified 1C covers about a quarter of Volume 1, the freshman course, of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEinstein’s Theory of Special Relativity \u003cbr\u003e• The Principle of Relativity \u003cbr\u003e• What Motivated Special Relativity? \u003cbr\u003e• The Lorentz Transformation \u003cbr\u003e• Length Contraction \u0026amp; Time Dilation \u003cbr\u003e• E=mc2 \u0026amp; Simultaneity \u003cbr\u003e• Light Cones \u0026amp; Causality \u003cbr\u003e• Paradoxes, Puzzles, \u0026amp; Philosophy \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Physics of Light, including: \u003cbr\u003e• Geometric Optics \u003cbr\u003e• The Principle of Least Time \u003cbr\u003e• Interference \u0026amp; Diffraction \u003cbr\u003e• Feynman Sum Over Histories \u003cbr\u003e• Refraction \u0026amp; Polarization \u003cbr\u003e• Electromagnetic Radiation \u003cbr\u003e• Light Scattering \u003cbr\u003e• Relativistic Effects on Light \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book assumes an understanding of the material in Feynman Simplified 1A: Basic Physics. It is however, largely independent of the material in Feynman Simplified 1B. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Real Science Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080311259376,"sku":"2940150616585","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150616585_p0.jpg?v=1763750508","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150616585","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
