Physics Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

A comprehensive summary of class notes for the 2nd year physics course PHY251. The Thermodynamics section begins by recapping basic concepts of heat capacity and equipartition of energy. It then progresses to considering the thermal conductivity of a gas and diffusion, before looking at the 2nd law of thermodynamics and the Van Der Waal's equation. The thermal section of the course concludes with introducing entropy. This leads nicely onto a more statistical mechanics treatment of thermodynamic...

This is a summary of my class notes taken for the 2nd year Optics course featured within a Physics degree at The University of Sheffield. The course requires a fairly deep understanding of the nature of light and how optical properties can be manipulated for our benefit. Beginning with the fundamental Maxwell Equations for electromagnetic waves, the course investigates what happens at interfaces between media and introduces the Fresnel formulae, derived from simple boundary conditions and previo...

My notes on the course Classical Physics at the University Of Sheffield. I do not claim all the content here is mine, it's mostly the images and equations that are copy-pasted from the lecturer's notes. But the descriptions/explanations are in my own words. Achieved an MPhys 1st Class Honours in theoretical physics. Contents: Harmonic Oscillators Waves Lagrangian And Hamiltonian Mechanics Fictitious Forces
