Discusses the physics of the human ear and hearing. (SL)

Describes a physics experiment for demonstrating magnetic lines of force. (SL)

Discusses the physics of the atomic model prepared, in 1904, by J. J. Thomson. (SL)

Outlines the first South-East Asian conference on university physics education held in Penang, Malaysia, May 16-21, 1977, to identify, analyze, and compare physics curricula and to improve physics education in developing countries. (SL)

Presents a detailed resource list for information sources in the field of Newtonian studies. (SL)

Describes the calculation of the potential of the Earth's gravitational field strength and the energies of satellites in orbit round the Earth with a programmable pocket calculator. (SL)

Reports the findings of a study involving teacher assessment of practical work in secondary level physics courses taught in Northern Ireland. Assessment is made by a single standardized examination. (SL)

Presents part two of a two-part article describing the Kelvin-Thomson atom. This part discusses the arrangement of electrons within the atom and examines some of the properties predicted for elements in the Kelvin-Thomson model. (SL)

Presents a discussion of the theory of thermoelectric effects and contact potentials. (SL)

Describes experiments and apparatus used to study the interaction of falling water drops on water surfaces and the collision between pairs of drops. (SL)

Describes how first- and second-order differential equations applied to the Schrodinger equation can be used to obtain the wavefunctions of the quantum harmonic oscillator. (SL)

Describes the inception, use, and evaluation of a demonstration laboratory designed to enable first-year university students to observe physical phenomena that they did not observe in the secondary school. (Author/SL)

Reports on the 1975 annual meeting of the Education Group of the Institute of Physics which was associated with the Higher Education Learning Project (Physics) (HELP). Discussed topics are listed. (CP)

Compares the mean grades attained by physics students entering Scottish universities on the basis of passes at the higher grade of the Scottish certificate of education with those students who had recorded passes at the advanced level of the general certificate of education. (CP)
