Opis

Central physics ideas and concepts are introduced and explained. Each entry begins with a one-sentence definition and is followed by an explanation and, where appropriate, by specific diagrams. The more important and more complex entries are supported by diagrams and by extra explanatory material. If relevant, the initial definition is followed by a word equation, a definition of the unit, and the symbols for the quantity and its unit.
