PHYS 151: General Physics I

Uncover the methodology behind determining an unknown light's wavelength using the double slit experiment. Understand how fringe spacings relate to the light's properties. Find out the significance of second-order fringes and their measurements.

Explore the fundamental concept of work in physics and discover the key conditions, including movement, net force, opposing force, and direction, that must be met for work to be accomplished when pushing on an object, such as a rock.

Explore the intriguing interplay of electric fields and conductors in this video. We examine how the presence of a point charge inside or outside a conductor affects the electric field. Join us to unravel the principles of electrostatics.

Watch as we explore the fascinating world of thermal expansion in this video. We start with a glass filled to the brim with 350.0 mL of water at a scorching 100.0°C, and then witness the magic unfold as the temperature decreases to a cool 20.0°C. But the real question is, how much more water can we add to the glass? Join us to find out!

Explore the physics behind an athlete's rope climb. Understand the relationship between power, force, and time, and how to calculate the minimum power output an athlete exerts. Witness the interplay of physics principles in evaluating athletic prowess.
