Entropy, probability and equilibrium in thermodynamic systems.
The current lecture numbered lecture – I and II, is intended to be an introduction to the statistical mechanics paper of a Physics honors degree. It was delivered to the same class, on 22 November 2017. Topics covered: i. Micro and macro state. ii. Entropy and thermodynamic probability and thermal equilibrium. Thermodynamic limit. Lets consider…

Four-vectors and conservation laws in relativity
This lecture was delivered to the final year honors class of 3 year science degree students on 21 November 2017 as part of the Classical Dynamics paper. In this lecture we will discuss some of the important tools of relativistic mechanics. We will discuss the idea of proper-time, 4-velocity, 4-acceleration, 4-momentum, 4-force and related conservation…

Relativistic Doppler effect
Relativistic Doppler effect. There is an apparent shift in the observed frequency of any electromagnetic wave (light) when there is any relative motion between the source of light and the observer. This can be easily determined by using the 4-vector formulation of theory of relativity. Lets discuss the details of this phenomena under two situations.…

Introduction to special theory of relativity.
Special Theory of Relativity: Galilean Transformations,. Newtonian Relativity. This was a lecture delivered to physics-elective class of a 3 year non-physics degree students on 10th April 2017. This is also a good exposition to honors students and anyone at an introductory level of the special theory of relativity, with requisite mathematical background. Let us consider…

Can a black-hole be created on earth by LHC?
This post belongs to the eschaton theme. Which means a small and swift blog post just to do justice to something that can’t be made comprehensively large by any reason, at the moment. Read the linked news article which giving excerpts from a book by the famed Martin Rees which I haven’t read, nonetheless which…
