Publisher's Synopsis
A Textbook of Physics, Largely Experimental: Including the Harvard College Descriptive List of Elementary Exercises in Physics is a comprehensive textbook written by Edwin H. Hall. The book is primarily focused on experimental physics and covers a wide range of topics, including mechanics, heat, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism. The book is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of physics through hands-on experimentation.The textbook is divided into several sections, each covering a different topic in physics. The first section covers mechanics and includes chapters on motion, force, work, energy, and momentum. The second section covers heat and thermodynamics, while the third section covers sound and acoustics. The fourth section covers light and optics, and the fifth section covers electricity and magnetism.The book is filled with numerous examples and illustrations to help students better understand the concepts being discussed. Additionally, the Harvard College Descriptive List of Elementary Exercises in Physics is included in the book, providing students with a list of practical experiments they can perform to reinforce their understanding of the material.Overall, A Textbook of Physics, Largely Experimental: Including the Harvard College Descriptive List of Elementary Exercises in Physics is an excellent resource for students studying physics. The book is well-written, comprehensive, and provides students with a solid foundation in experimental physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
