CLASSROOM UPDATES

A Quick Look at the topics discussed in my Physics Classroom at School

I've moved the daily updates to www.physicsdiary.com 

I hope this will be beneficial to those who could not  attend school due to illness or some other unavoidable circumstances.

The topics are posted in the reverse chronological order (Newest comes first)

5-7 Aug 2010
  • Motion in a plane
  • Projectile Motion, trajectory of a projectile for horizontal and angular projection
  • Expression for horizontal range, maximum height and time of flight.
  • Numerical problems based on horizontal projection and angular projection
2-4 Aug 2010
  • I am on Official tour
2-31 July 2010
  • Accuracy and Precision, Errors, Absolute Error, fractional or relative error, percentage error,
  • Propagation of errors in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
  • KINEMATICS, motion in one dimension
 1 July 2010
  • Defining Least Count and determining the same for a screw gauge and a vernier calipers.
  •  Measuring with Screw gauge and Vernier Calipers - Hands on Practice
30 June 2010
  • To determine the diameter of a molecule of oleic acid
  • d = t = Nv / 20x20xA
29 June 2010
I had to take Casual Leave
28 June 2010
  • Parallax Method to determine the distance of a start from Earth
  • Determine the radius of moon from earth
  • Astronomical Unit and Parsec (parallactic second) defined
  • Determining the height of the flag-stag of a ship and the distance of the ship from land.
  • The need for extension of senses for solving problems in Physics - Some Puzzles to illustrate
  • To err is human! But:

- Not more than once
- Not in a public speech
- To err and to remain in error is devilish, foolish

THE STRING THEORY

INTRODUCTION String theory is a developing theory in particle physics which attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity . String Theory , sometimes called the Theory of Everything, is thought by some to be the unifying field theory Einstein sought before his death. String theory is the first mathematically sound theory that reconciles the world of the infinitesimally small, with the world we know at large. It unites Einstein’s Theory of Relativity with quantum physics and offers a potential explanation for the Big Bang. What's string theory? String theory posits that the electrons and quarks within an atom are not 0-dimensional objects, but rather 1-dimensional oscillating lines ("strings"), possessing only the dimension of length, but not height or width. The theory poses that these strings can vibrate, thus giving the observed particles their flavor , charge , mass and spin. History of String Theory Gabriele Veneziano, a research fello...

|String|---|Theory|

The String Theory is a recent trend or theory is physics which is attempting to formulate a theory to harmonize quantum mechanics and general relativity.It is trying to prove that electrons and quarks in the nucleus are not zero-dimensional,but rather uni-dimensional oscillating lines called strings.It is said to possess only length and no other dimension. This is one of the hottest research going on in the modern day physics.It has originated from the dual-resonance model which was proposed by Gabriele Veneziano in 1969.There are 5 major developed string theories.Each of them differs in the number of dimensions in which the strings developed and their characteristics.All these theories seems to be correct though. Once scientists believed there were 5 superstring theories-Type I,types IIA and IIB and the two heterotic string theories.The thinking was that out of these five candidate theories, only one was the actual correct Theory of Everything .But now it is known that it was naive t...

GRAND UNIFIED THEORY

GUT The term Grand Unified Theory or GUT, refers to any of several similar models in particle physics in which at high energy scales, the three gauge interactions of the Standard Model which define the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions, are merged into one single interaction characterized by a larger gauge symmetry and one unified coupling constant rather than three independent ones History : Historically, the first true GUT which was based on the simple Lie group SU(5), was proposed by Howard Georgi and Sheldon Glashow in 1974.The Georgi–Glashow model was preceded by the Semisimple Lie algebra Pati–Salam model by Abdus Salam and Jogesh Pati,who pioneered the idea to unify gauge interactions. Unification of forces and the role of supersymmetry : The renormalization group running of the three-gauge couplings has been found to nearly, but not quite, meet at the same point if the hypercharge is normalized so that it is consistent with SU(5) or SO(10) GUTs,...
