    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 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
