Physic Wiki

The purpose of this wiki is to provide articles on physics concepts as well as provide everyone from physics graduate students to casual readers with peer-reviewed problems and solutions. Many of these problems are graduate-level, from public problem banks. Public problem banks are often compiled by various university physics departments and include questions that they have given on previous PhD qualifying/prelim exams. The community can submit problems, search for problems, and post or correct solutions to these problems.

University Problem Banks

University of Virginia

Topics

Classical physics

Kinematics - the study of the motion of objects
Dynamics - the study of the forces and torques which cause motion of objects
Electromagnetism
Gravitation
Thermodynamics - the study of heat and energy transfer
Optics - the study of light and its interactions with matter

Modern physics

Quantum mechanics - the study of actions at a levels near the quanta of energy
Particle physics - the study of particles at a subatomic level
Special relativity - the theory relating space and time, which states physical laws and constants are independent of reference frame
General relativity - the theory relating spacetime to gravitation

Featured Article

F= \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2}

Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces. It is the weakest of the four forces, yet one of the most easily observed. It causes a mutual attraction between two bodies by virtue of their masses. Gravitational force is believed to be caused by the exchange of yet to be discovered particles called gravitons. Read More
