, PREFACE
This book of problems is intended as a textbook for students at higher
educational institutions studying advanced course in physics. Besides,
because of the great number of simple problems it may be used by
students studying a general course in physics.
The book contains about 1900 problems with hints for solving the most
complicated ones.
For students convenience each chapter opens with a time-saving
summary of the principal formulas for the relevant area of physics. As a
rule the formulas are given without detailed explanations since a
student, starting solving a problem, is assumed to know the meaning of
the quantities appearing in the formulas. Explanatory notes are only
given in those cases when misunderstanding may arise.
All the formulas in the text and answers are in SI system, except in Part
Six, where the Gaussian system is used. Quantitative data and answers
are presented in accordance with the rules of approximation and
numerical accuracy.
The main physical constants and tables are summarised at the end of
the book.
The Periodic System of Elements is printed at the front end sheet and
the Table of elementary Particles at the back sheet of the book.
In conclusion, the author wants to express his deep gratitude to
colleagues from MIPhI and to readers who sent their remarks on some
problems, helping thereby to improve the book.
