This is a topic which seems to confuse a lot of students but it needn't be so. The word error suggests a mistake in a result but this is not the case: the word uncertainty is clearer:...

Newton's Third LawEvery action has an equal and opposite reaction.Everyone knows this catchphrase but Newton's Third Law still causes much misunderstanding.The first two laws concern ...

Newton's laws of motionNewton's laws of motion are the basis for our understanding of the mechanical world. While students may or may not know them by name, they underpin most of the ...

Photoelectric EffectIf EM Radiation is incident on a metal surface, electrons may be emitted. The electrons emitted are from the so-called sea of delocalised electrons (not elec...

Although this is written for physics this can be applied to ANY subject.Having your students try to revise for a specific topic can be helped by this method:1 - Have the student creat...

Physics is an inescapable consequence of mankind`s innate curiosity to fathom the universe, from its provenance to its destiny. It transcends the barriers of scale, time and dimension...

Photoelectric Effect If EM Radiation is incident on a metal surface, electrons may be emitted. Several features of the results observed cannot be explained using the traditional wav...

The would-be rationale idealists fifty years on continue to seek validation from the empirical scientists. It is not enough that the String theorists play in Plato s shadow world fo...

There is a well-known statement that the speed of the electric current is equal to the speed of light and is 300 thousand kilometers per second. An electromagnetic wave travels in...
