For The Love of Physics
This book takes you on a tour through nature, explaining the physics behind everything from rainbows to time. This book is an interesting and enjoyable attempt to explain many and difficult physics ideas to a layperson.
It covers a wide range of topics, including the nucleus, measurements, stars, bodies in motion, rainbows, strings, electricity, magnetic force, X-rays, winds, and space, among others. It provides answers to a variety of questions that are typically difficult to answer, as well as solving a variety of problems, such as ‘Why are we short when we stand but taller when we lie down?’ For physicists, this book is an excellent companion.
Knowledge from book
Physics is a fascinating science with a lot of concepts and complicated theories that never stop to astonish us. The author attempts to communicate the subject’s simplicity and beauty clearly through this book. It not only includes easy-to-understand terminology, but it also manages to inject some fun and ease of learning into an otherwise difficult subject. For example, the book begins with reflections on the color of the sky and clouds before delving into the principles that underpin the vibrant colors of the sky and clouds.
Walter Lewin is a well-known physicist of Dutch descent who spent 45 years teaching physics at MIT. In 1965, he graduated from Delft University of Technology with a doctorate in nuclear physics. He is well-known for his online lectures, which have been viewed over 2 million times on edX and MIT OpenCourseware.
