PHYS 2350: Modern Physics I

Explore the fascinating optical phenomena involving a cat, a converging lens, and the creation of virtual and real images.

Uncover the science behind a common sensation - why hot concrete feels hotter than a rug at the same temperature on a scorching summer day. We'll explore the factors at play in this intriguing phenomenon and provide a clear understanding of the science behind it.

Delve into Newton's third law of motion and explore how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences whether force pairs cancel each other out.

Explore the fascinating world of light coherence! In this video, we examine various pairs of light sources to determine their coherence. From candles to reflections in mirrors and soap films, we unravel the concept of coherent light sources.

Join us to explore the science of hand-warming through friction in this video. We calculate the temperature increase as a woman rubs her hands together, converting work into thermal energy. Dive into the physics of heat generation and discover how friction can keep you warm.

Discover the gravitational forces at play in a triangle of masses in this video. We calculate the net force on each mass and explore how changing the side length impacts these forces. Join us for a gravitational journey through physics.
