I was on bicycle and from opposite site a motorcycle
running towards me, and suddenly we clashed! When I opened my eyes I was in a
hospital. After a five minutes I was thinking about Newton’s third law “Every
action has equal and opposite reaction.” I know it sounds
stupid, isn't it? Today when I sat in front of computer screen the
first thing which came in my mind was Physics.
Yes! Physics, I know how it feels when it comes to physics. You
have calculated frequency of sound and playing with pendulum. Many of us gets
goose bumps when we solve problems and numerical of physics.
The first thing we should know physics is science,
but don't take it as science. Why? If you'll take it
as general study of surroundings then your mind will function more actively.
#01: Go for basic:
Many graduate students don’t know that the basic difference
between velocity and speed or pressure and stress. The lack of basic knowledge
leads to confusion and misunderstanding about physics. So take a book from your
younger brother or sister who’s studying primary and secondary school.
#02: Get some History of Physics:
You don’t know that in physics you can read history, I mean how
particular thing or an object was invented and information of scientists such
as History of Albert Einstein that his teacher considered him as a dumb student
(well, Teacher was unaware of that later Einstein will be the king of classical
physics). Do you remember the famous quotation “I have
not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” by Thomas Edison. It indicates that physics
itself is an inspiration and motivation.
#03: Get set for Internet:
Instead of social networking and playing games you must visit to
Wikipedia, science.org, NASA’s website to search and clear your doubts about
particular topic. Electromagnetism, Acoustics, Optics these are the topics
which needs a strong imagination power may resolve your doubts about how sound
waves travels in air, how currents flows and how transfer of heat takes
place by animation and video. One the big advantage you may watch experts
lectures.
#04: Work on Mathematics:
Physics is correlated to Mathematics. You can’t run away from
math if you want to learn physics. As you go deeper in physics mathematical
work will get increase. Derivation, Integration, and vector are the pillars of
physics. A good physicist is a good Mathematician or even better.
These simple steps will make you an efficient
student, so start from today. Please tell me about any idea you have.
