    And yes you're right this is Knight's book.

    Classical Physics book with explanations instead of definitions?

    Hello everyone, I am taking my third term of physics right now, and we are talking about flux at the moment. This terms is supposed to be a lot about E&M. Though I find that our textbook (Physics for scientists and engineers a strategic approach 4/e) is very textbooky. I was wondering if there...

    Conceptual explanation for ΔS=Q/T

    So understand how to solve a problem using the equation: ΔS=Q/T But is there a conceptual explanation for why the equation works. And I'm not looking for a proof, but I simply want to understand why this equation should be intuitive. Thanks for your time!

    What is Enthelpy Conceptually?

    Fair enough. So then is there a way to conceptually explain ΔG=ΔH-TΔS? Or is that not really possible?

    What is Enthelpy Conceptually?

    So I understand that enthalpy is energy. But what energy specifically? Is enthalpy heat energy? Is it the energy that bonds atoms together and that's why it can either be released or absorbed? Or is that what Gibbs free energy is? I'm trying to make sense of the equation: ΔG=ΔH-TΔS...

    Why is it that light has momentum?

    That you all so much for your great answers!

    Why is it that light has momentum?

    Yes that makes a lot of sense! Thanks you so much!

    Why is it that light has momentum?

    That's very nice of you! Yes please that would help. From what I've got so far is that, because light is a changed particle, it can still push against other charged particles because of its energy despite it having mass. I'm trying here.

    Why is it that light has momentum?

    The way that I understand it is this. But correct me if I'm wrong. Because P=m*v, sense infinity * 0 in calculus is 1, and because the speed of light is the limit of velocity, we can express it as infinity, so p = 0 kg * infinity m/s. Is that at all right?
