Sinopsis

Excerpt from Essentials of Modern Physics

Several persons have assisted in various ways in the preparation of this book. The author takes pleasure in acknowledging such service, and in extending to each one his appreciation. Mr. Roger B. Saylor, of the Barringer High School of Newark, N. J read all the manuscript and offered many helpful suggestions. The remarkable photo graphs Oi sound-waves were furnished by Professor Arthur L. Foley of Indiana University. Mr. Carl 0. Voegelin, of the Central High School of Newark, N. J read all the galley proofs and furnished many helpful suggestions. The photo graphs illustrating vibrations produced by the singing voice were taken by Dr. Dayton C. Miller of the Case School of Applied Science. Generous assistance in reading galley proofs was given by Mr. Silas A. Lottridge of East Orange High School. The photograph Of the first power-driven aeroplane was supplied by Mr. Orville Wright. The au thor is indebted to Mr. Walter White, his associate in the South Side High School, for suggestions pertaining to the mathematical side of physics, and to Mr. Carl J. Hunkins of the same school for helpful criticism, particularly in the later chapters.

Excerpt from Essentials of Modern Physics

While the belief seems to be quite common that the World War revolutionized the sciences of physics and chemistry, it is a fact that the fundamental principles of these sciences were unchanged. It is true, however, that many new applications of well-known principles were developed, and some more or less obscure processes came to be used on a large scale. These interesting applications have been brought to the attention of the general public through the press, as well as through the actual experience of thousands of young men in the army. Thus the interest in both physics and chemistry has developed to a greater extent within the last few years than it did during the preceding quarter of a century.

No subject in the secondary school course of study touches the student's life more closely than elementary physics. No subject is better fitted to develop the reasoning powers, or to cultivate the incommon faculty known as "common sense." Prom the time the pupil opens the water faucet in the morning until he snaps off the electric light upon retiring, he is constantly applying or observing some of the principles of physics. These principles may be connected with the automobile, the street car, or motion pictures; or they may have to do with the more prosaic wheelbarrows, buck-saws, or jack-knives.

Although the applications of physics are so common, yet any attempt to present the essentials of the subject to pupils of high school age is certain to meet with many real difficulties.
