Physics Skills Tim Freegarde

Physics skills BECOME A BETTER PHYSICIST… GRADUATE WITH A BETTER DEGREE CLASS… GENERAL AIMS: identify physics in a physical situation apply physical laws, logical deduction and mathematics analyse qualitatively and quantitatively compare theory with experiment, or predict what happens next

Physics skills IDENTIFY PHYSICS IN A PHYSICAL SITUATION… parse the question QUESTION TERMINOLOGY draw a diagram representing the information provided State, What, Identify, Express, Find no derivation required Explain, Describe, How in words… Derive, Prove, Show that, Determine state assumptions, proceed logically Evaluate, Indicate, Calculate, Estimate numbers, with clear assumptions Sketch as it says…

Physics skills APPLY PHYSICAL LAWS, LOGICAL DEDUCTION & MATHEMATICS STRUCTURE OF A DERIVATION diagram establishes problem, defines parameters, visualizes question fundamental principles physical laws and general assumptions particular assumptions approximations, values, regime limitations mathematics tautologies which introduce no new physical information but

Physics skills APPLY PHYSICAL LAWS, LOGICAL DEDUCTION & MATHEMATICS STRUCTURE OF A DERIVATION diagram establishes problem, defines parameters, visualizes question fundamental principles physical laws and general assumptions particular assumptions approximations, values, regime limitations mathematics tautologies which introduce no new physical information but DERIVATIONS SHOULD BE logical rigorous

Physics skills ANALYSE QUALITATIVELY AND QUANTITATIVELY APPLY and USE CONSISTENTLY: vectors symbols/variables definite integrals (especially >1D) differentiation (especially products, powers, functions of functions) SKETCH or PLOT GRAPHS label axes show asymptotes/trends plot specific values label important features

Physics skills COMPARE THEORY WITH EXPERIMENT or PREDICT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT NUMERICAL VALUES AND INTERPRETATION units precision, uncertainty COMMENTARY required to explain logic, assumptions, interpretation, conclusions clarity and accuracy of language essential http://phyweb.phys.soton.ac.uk/quantum/writing.php
