摘要:

This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature involving physical principles in physiology. References have been selected to provide resource information on physiology and related life sciences for physicists who wish to introduce material on the physical foundations of physiological phenomena in an introductory or intermediate physics course. The letters E, I, or A after an item indicate elementary, intermediate, or advanced physical or mathematical formalism. An asterisk (*) indicates those articles to be included in an accompanying Reprint Book.

摘要:

The Cavendish experiment is always interpreted now as a measurement ofG, the universal gravitational constant, but that is an interpretation that Cavendish did not make. He thought that he had measured the mean density of the Earth, and he was only one of many experimenters measuring the density of the Earth by many methods during the 18th century.

摘要:

One subject in introductory physics which has in the past necessarily been taught using comparatively few examples taken from the natural world is special relativity. If currently prominent theories concerning the physics of quasars are correct, these astronomical objects offer an exciting and illustrative demonstration of naturally occurring large‐scale relativistic motion.

摘要:

An elementary physics course on thermodynamics is presented. It uses entropy and temperature as fundamental, undefined objects. Suggestions on how to do this can be traced back to H. L. Callendar [Proc. Phys. Soc. (London)23, 153 (1911)].

摘要:

The functional educational goals of moving chalkboards in the science lecture hall are reviewed and a number of different arrangements of moving chalkboards are described along with a tabulation of their advantages and disadvantages. A set of moving chalkboards has been designed and constructed to meet the educational goals in an optimum way. These boards are described in detail.

摘要:

This paper investigates why the 12‐note scale, having equal intervals, seems to be the best representation of scales constructed from purely harmonic intervals. Is it possible that other equal temperament scales with more or less than 12 notes would serve just as well? The investigation is done by displaying the difference between a set of harmonic notes and scales with equal intervals havingnnotes per octave. The difference is small whennis equal to 12, but also whennequals 19 and 29. The number density of notes per unit frequency intervals is also investigated.
