Leib MIR PUBLISHERS MOSCOW First published 1979 Ha dHBAUUCKOM X8UK€ © PisA&TejibCTBO «HayKa», MocKBa, 1975 © English translation, Mir Publishers, 1979 PREFACE The fundamental role played by physics in modern scientific and technical progress has resulted in an important revision of the content of physics courses in secondary educa- tional institutions. The new syllabi and teaching methods used in secondary physics courses are much broader in scope than those used a few years ago. The interest in physics has also grown considerably among people studying on their own. This interest has been stimulated by popular science literature, series of television and radio broadcasts, and public lectures. Because of this, there is an increasing need for various refresher courses in the subject. The present book gives definitions of the basic physical concepts and quantities studied in an elementary physics course, formulates physical laws, and briefly explains the essence of the phenomena they describe. Some chapters contain problems and their solutions. >The book is intended for a very broad circle of readers: secondary school pupils, students at vocational schools and special secondary educational institutions, and students Inking preparatory courses at institutes. It will be a great help to students preparing for entrance examinations to higher educational establishments. Having in mind people studying physics independently, the authors also included some information on classical and modern physics that is beyond the scope of secondary school syllabi. These chapters ii nd sections are marked with an asterisk. Attention is con st nntly given to the interpretation of the physical meaning of laws and the phenomena they describe. The mathematics needed to use the book is within the scope of a secondary mathematics course.
