    Vibrations Waves
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty of finding resources for solving problems related to waves and oscillations, particularly due to inadequate teaching and theoretical content in the user's textbook. Users suggest looking for Richard Feynman's "Lectures on Physics" and its associated problem sets as a potential solution. The specific textbook in question is identified as "Waves and Oscillations" by W.F. Smith. Participants emphasize the importance of accessing better resources to improve understanding and problem-solving skills in this area. Overall, the thread highlights a common struggle among students seeking practical solutions to theoretical physics problems.

Hi, my teacher is pretty bad at teaching, my book offers problems with no solutions and poor examples, and there is no solutions for the problems on the internets. Does anyone know a manual/pdf/website where I can find problems and solutions for waves and oscillations? I have read the book and everything but it is just too theoretical and doesn't say how to solve problems at all.

Geronimo -- Look for Feyman's "Lectures on Physics", available on the internet and also search for "Feyman's Lectures on Physics problems with answers" to find http://www.feynmanlectures.info/exercises.html

Which book is it? Then people won't embarrass themselves by recommending it to you. :olduhh:

But then I'm exposed to better physicist who understood better than me and know how to solve problems :nb)
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Raman Spectroscopy help'

I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
