The first paper explained the photoelectric effect, which established the energy of the light quanta =, and was the only specific discovery mentioned in the citation awarding Einstein the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics. [3] The second paper explained Brownian motion, which established the Einstein relation = and compelled physicists to accept the ...

The current version is a revised version of the original 1960 textbook Physics for Students of Science and Engineering by Halliday and Resnick, which was published in two parts (Part I containing Chapters 1-25 and covering mechanics and thermodynamics; Part II containing Chapters 26-48 and covering electromagnetism, optics, and introducing ...
Statistical Physics, by Frederick Reif; Volume 2, Electricity and Magnetism, by Purcell (Harvard), is particularly well known, and was influential for its use of relativity in the presentation of the subject at the introductory college level. Half a century later the book is still in print, in an updated version by authors Purcell and Morin.
During his second period, Einstein submitted his papers in English to North American journals, such as the Physical Review. [4] Einstein first gained fame among physicists for the papers he submitted in 1905, his annus mirabilis or miraculous year in physics. His epochal contributions during this phase of his career stemmed from a single ...

Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.
