1. Measurements and Uncertainties | 测量与不确定性
All physical quantities rely on SI base units: kilogram (kg), metre (m), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol) and candela (cd). Prefixes like kilo (10³), milli (10⁻³) and micro (10⁻⁶) simplify scale management. Measurement uncertainty must be propagated correctly. For quantities obtained by addition or subtraction, absolute uncertainties add. For multiplication or division, percentage uncertainties add. The final result is always quoted with an appropriate number of significant figures.
所有物理量都依赖于国际单位制(SI)的基本单位:千克(kg)、米(m)、秒(s)、安培(A)、开尔文(K)、摩尔(mol)和坎德拉(cd)。使用如千(10³)、毫(10⁻³)、微(10⁻⁶)等词头来简化量级处理。测量不确定度必须正确传递。通过加减法得到的量,绝对不确定度相加;通过乘除法得到的量,相对(百分比)不确定度相加。最终结果总是带有适当位数的有效数字。
Systematic errors shift all readings in the same direction, affecting accuracy. Random errors cause scatter, affecting precision. Repeating readings reduces random uncertainty; the uncertainty of the mean is often taken as ± half the range or the standard error of the mean.
系统误差使所有读数朝同一方向偏移,影响准确度。随机误差造成数据分散,影响精密度。重复测量可降低随机不确定度;平均值的不确定度通常取±半量程或平均值的标准误差。
2. Particles and Quantum Phenomena | 粒子与量子现象
The Standard Model classifies fundamental particles into quarks (up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom) and leptons (electron, muon, tau and their neutrinos). Hadrons, such as protons (uud) and neutrons (udd), are combinations of quarks. Every particle has an antiparticle with opposite charge and the same mass. Exchange particles mediate forces; the photon is the exchange particle for the electromagnetic interaction.
标准模型将基本粒子分为夸克(上、下、粲、奇、顶、底)和轻子(电子、μ子、τ子及其相应的中微子)。强子(例如质子 uud 和中子 udd)由夸克组合而成。每种粒子都有反粒子,反粒子带相反的电荷且质量相同。交换粒子是传递相互作用力的媒介;光子是电磁相互作用的交换粒子。
The photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle nature of light. Electrons are emitted only when the incident photon frequency exceeds a threshold frequency f0. The maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons is given by Ek max = hf − φ, where φ is the work function of the metal. A higher intensity only increases the number of emitted electrons, not their maximum kinetic energy.
光电效应证实了光的粒子性。只有当入射光子的频率超过截止频率 f0 时,电子才会被发射出来。发射电子的最大动能由 Ek max = hf − φ 给出,其中 φ 是金属的逸出功。增大光强只会增加发射电子的数量,而不会提高其最大动能。
Matter also exhibits wave-like properties. The de Broglie wavelength is λ = h/p, where p is the particle’s momentum. This wave nature has been confirmed by electron diffraction through a crystal lattice.
物质也表现出波的性质。德布罗意波长为 λ = h/p,其中 p 是粒子的动量。电子在晶体中发生的衍射现象证实了这种波动性。
3. Waves and Optics | 波与光学
Mechanical and electromagnetic waves transfer energy without transferring matter. In a transverse wave, the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of energy travel; polarisation is unique to transverse waves. Longitudinal waves have oscillations parallel to the direction of propagation. The wave equation v = fλ links wave speed, frequency and wavelength.
机械波和电磁波传播能量而不传递物质。在横波中,振动方向垂直于能量传播方向;偏振是横波独有的特征。纵波的振动方向平行于传播方向。波速公式 v = fλ 将波速、频率和波长联系起来。
Coherent waves produce stable interference patterns. For Young’s double-slit experiment the fringe spacing is Δy = λD / d. A diffraction grating yields sharp principal maxima when nλ = d sinθ. The superposition of two identical waves travelling in opposite directions forms a stationary (standing) wave with nodes and antinodes. For a string fixed at both ends, the harmonic frequencies are fn = nv / (2L).
相干波会产生稳定的干涉图样。在杨氏双缝实验中,条纹间距为 Δy = λD / d。对于衍射光栅,当 nλ = d sinθ 时出现尖锐的主极大。两列完全相同但传播方向相反的波叠加会形成驻波,驻波具有波节和波腹。对于两端固定的弦,谐频为 fn = nv / (2L)。
Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser to a rarer medium at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle C, where sin C = n2/n1. Fibre optics exploit this principle for signal transmission.
当光从光密介质射向光疏介质且入射角大于临界角 C 时,会发生全内反射,其中 sin C = n2/n1。光纤利用这一原理传输信号。
4. Mechanics and Materials | 力学与材料
Kinematics for uniform acceleration can be described by the SUVAT equations: v = u + at, s = ½(u + v)t, s = ut + ½at², v² = u² + 2as. These are valid only when acceleration is constant.
匀加速运动学可由 SUVAT 方程组描述:v = u + at,s = ½(u + v)t,s = ut + ½at²,v² = u² + 2as。这些方程仅在加速度恒定时成立。
Newton’s laws govern motion: an object maintains its state of rest or uniform motion unless a net external force acts (first law); net force equals the rate of change of momentum, simplified to F = ma for constant mass (second law); forces always occur in action–reaction pairs on different bodies (third law). The principle of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant. Collisions may be elastic (kinetic energy conserved) or inelastic.
牛顿定律支配着物体的运动:除非受到净外力,物体将保持静止或匀速运动状态(第一定律);净外力等于动量的变化率,在质量不变时可简化为 F = ma(第二定律);力总是以作用力与反作用力对的形式出现在不同物体上(第三定律)。动量守恒定律指出,孤立系统的总动量保持不变。碰撞可以是弹性的(动能守恒)或非弹性的。
Materials deform under stress. Behaviour is characterised by stress σ = F/A and strain ε = ΔL/L. The Young modulus E = σ/ε applies in the linear elastic region. Beyond the elastic limit, plastic deformation occurs.
材料在应力作用下发生形变。其行为由应力 σ = F/A 和应变 ε = ΔL/L 描述。杨氏模量 E = σ/ε 适用于线性弹性区域。超过弹性极限后,材料发生塑性形变。
5. Electricity and Circuits | 电学与电路
Electric current I = ΔQ/Δt is the rate of flow of charge. Potential difference V = W/Q is the energy transferred per unit charge. Resistance R = V/I is constant for ohmic conductors at constant temperature. Resistivity ρ describes a material’s inherent ability to oppose current: R = ρL/A.
电流 I = ΔQ/Δt 是电荷的流动速率。电势差 V
