measurement techniques
... When a sound wave set up by the vibrating piston propagates along the pipe of air, the direction of propagation of sound energy is along the pipe to the right. The direction of oscillation of the air layers is back and forth, parallel to this direction. Hence sound wave is an example of a longitudin ...

AN INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS
... 1. Physics is a science. Science works according to the scientific method. The scientific method accepts only reason, logic, and experimental evidence to tell between what is scientifically correct and what is not. Scientists do not simply believe – they test, and keep testing until satisfied. Just ...

ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES
... Let us in “stationary” space take two systems of co-ordinates, i.e. two systems, each of three rigid material lines, perpendicular to one another, and issuing from a point. Let the axes of X of the two systems coincide, and their axes of Y and Z respectively be parallel. Let each system be provided ...

History of physics
Physics (from the Ancient Greek φύσις physis meaning ""nature"") is the fundamental branch of science that developed out of the study of nature and philosophy known, until around the end of the 19th century, as ""natural philosophy"". Today, physics is ultimately defined as the study of matter, energy and the relationships between them. Physics is, in some senses, the oldest and most basic pure science; its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world. The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered branches that have split off from physics to become sciences in their own right. Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics.
