Physics Projects with a Light Box You Can Build by
Readers learn to build their own light box with simple materials from their home. Then start experimenting. Readers will learn all about reflection, refraction, and colors. Start understanding images in a mirror and how to measure the level of light intensity. Many experiments are followed by great ideas for science fair projects.
The Basics of Quantum Physics by
Using relevant diagrams and pictures to illustrate concepts discussed, this is a straightforward introduction to quantum physics, focusing on the nature of light and the atom. Written for the student who may have difficulty understanding physics concepts in basic textbooks, the book describes current theories and concepts, explaining how physicist Niels Bohr took the ideas of Max Planck and Albert Einstein and applied them to the model of the atom, changing our understanding of the basic building block of the physical world.
The Photon by
This "particle" of light energy and its discovery revolutionized our understanding of subatomic physics and led to the theory of quantum physics. Through this book, readers will learn about these minute packets of electromagnetic radiation and the scientists such as Max Planck and Albert Einstein, who figured out how they work.
