adoption and rejection of any theory in science. Topics covered includes:
Motion, Forces and Newton's Laws, Work and Energy, Rotational Motion, Gravity,
Fluids, Heat, Electricity and Magnetism, Light, Special Relativity, Quantum
Theory, Earth and other Planets, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe.
This note covers foundations of modern physics,
Introduction to the course, The special theory of relativity, Basic ideas,
The Lorentz transformation, Length contraction, The relativity of time,
Light and the doppler effect, The addition of velocities, Energy and
momentum, Toward the general theory of relativity, Radiation and matter, The

universe that began just prior to 1900. Topics covered includes: Galilean
transformations, The Quantum Theory of Light, Special Relativity, Relativity :
Mass, Energy and Momentum.

Thermodynamics.
Bernard Stallo, a
German-born American philosopher of science , developed a positivistic outlook,
especially in the philosophy of physics, in his book 'The Concepts and
Theories of Modern Physics', in which he anticipated to a degree some of the
general ideas later formulated in the theory of relativity and quantum
mechanics.

physics. Topics covered includes: Nuclear Sizes and Isotope Shifts, Semi
Empirical Mass Formula, Nuclear stability and radioactive decays, Cross
sections theory and experiment, Radioactive decay theory, Particle
interactions in matter, Particle detectors and Applications of nuclear
physics.
