Feynman Lectures Simplified 1C: Special Relativity and the Physics of Light
Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. I absorbed all I could. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations.
Feynman Simplified 1C covers about a quarter of Volume 1, the freshman course, of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include:
Einstein�s Theory of Special Relativity
� The Principle of Relativity
� What Motivated Special Relativity?
� The Lorentz Transformation
� Length Contraction & Time Dilation
� E=mc2 & Simultaneity
� Light Cones & Causality
� Paradoxes, Puzzles, & Philosophy
The Physics of Light, including:
� Geometric Optics
� The Principle of Least Time
� Interference & Diffraction
� Feynman Sum Over Histories
� Refraction & Polarization
� Electromagnetic Radiation
� Light Scattering
� Relativistic Effects on Light
This book assumes an understanding of the material in Feynman Simplified 1A: Basic Physics. It is however, largely independent of the material in Feynman Simplified 1B.
