Overview

The surface of the water appears here in beautiful shades of blue, yellow, green, and pink. A drop breaks the surface and starts concentric circular ripples that travel on the surface of the water outward from that point. What do we know about the nature of water and how it absorbs, transmits, and reflects light? How does the reflection of light at particular wavelengths affect the colors our brains interpret? How do waves travel? What affects their speed and frequency? What do water waves have in common with light? How can your knowledge of these basic physics principles be applied to technology, such as the fiber optics used in telecommunications and in arthroscopic knee surgery? The answers to these questions and many more can all be learned through your study of Physics. Some ways to help you succeed in Physics ... Physics includes two great new features, intended specifically for you, the student: Eight Review and Synthesis sections now appear throughout the text, following groups of related chapters. These sections provide Review Exercises. Working these problems requires you to combine two or more concepts learned in previous chapters and will help you to prepare for cumulative exams. These sections also contain MCAT[registered] Review exercises-actual reading passages and questions written for the MCAT[registered] exam. To the Student: How to Succeed in Your Physics Class. This special section has been designed exclusively for you-to help you focus, get the most out of your available resources, become organized, and manage your time-to help you succeed in your college physics course.
