It is more important to have beauty in the equations of physics that to have them agree with experiments. The great British physics P.A.M. Dirac held the view. Criticize this statement. |
| Answer» Solution :(i) The two equations relating force `vecF` and `vecr`, one for work `W=vecF.vecr` and another for torque `vec(tau)=vecrxxvecF`. (Details you will study in the coming chapters). The two equations express entirely different concepts. (ii) The Maxwell equations relating the electric fiedl `VECE` and the magnetic FIELD `vecB`. (iii) The de Broglie wave equation expressing the particle nature and wave nature of MATTER. `lamda=h/ mv`, where h is the Plank.s constnat, m is the mass of a particle moving with a velocity v. (iv) And the most beautiful equation is of course, Einstein.s `E=mc^(2)`, the rest ENERGY associated with a BODY of rest mass m and c is the velocity of light. | |
