My physics teacher has BA in electrical engineering and Masters Degree in Electrical engineer. She teaches very well.

Gallin, I myself am in high-school physics and purchased many physics books. Richard Feynam has a wonder full way with explanation and assuming you move slowly and take notes his books are excellent teachers. Id recommended "The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. 1: Mainly Mechanics, Radiation...

Thank you for the responses. Thanks to Kevin i will continue to read the book ( which so far seems very interesting ). Thanks to mathman for an explanation of my photon question.

QED: the strange theory of light and matter. " Light is made of particles " ? Over Christmas I ordered the book: QED: The strange theory of light and matter by Richard P feynamn 2006 edition. Note: This book was written in 1985. "We know that light is made of particles because we can't...

I appreciate all the help I've received with this question. I often feel as if my teacher is too analytical and because of this has a hard time communicating with us. I don't blame my conflicting understanding of the theory as her fault because I myself ( while reading andy's post) realized I...

PhantomHay , What I am hearing from your explanation is the theory of terminal velocity is correct in the sense that an object does have an eventual terminal velocity. The required height for an object would have to be vary large for it to reach terminal velocity? If that's true I do not...

This has to do with an object falling down in a linear line threw the air towards earth. I was arguing with my physics teacher today on whether or not terminal velocity was true. First, I understand terminal velocity refers to speed and therefore is without direction. My argument was not...
