Anno XLIX - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2016 Effetto contro intuitivo della gravità sulla capacità termica di una sfera solida: riesame di un problema ben noto
Tradotto e pubblicato con autorizzazione dell’American Association of Physics Teachers e degli autori da: G. De Palma, M. C. Sormani, “Counterintuitive effect of gravity on the heat capacity of a metal sphere: re-examination of a well-known problem”, American Journal of Physics, […]
Anno XXXIX - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2006 Effetto Seebeck
This paper reports a teaching approach to the Seebeck effect, with attention to the historical, theoretical and experimental aspects. […]
Anno XXVII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1994 Einstein contro la meccanica quantistica
This article deals with the most important characteristic of Einstein thought, in relation to his opposition versus the Quantum Mechanics. A new explanation is proposed for this contrast: Einstein tries to understand microscopic phenomena by a non linear theory, to obtain with an opportune generalization the General Relativity. […]
Anno XXXVIII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2005 Einstein e la massa relativistica
Einstein’s writings are examined in order to see how he treated the concept of mass and in particular if he ever introduced relativistic mass. The conclusion is that relativistic mass never appears – with the possible exception of the book The Evolution of Physics where some passages might lead the reader to think that mass depends on velocity. […]
Anno XXVIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1995 Elaborazione dei dati sperimentali: la cosiddetta “teoria degli errori”
We examine several “myths” of physics teaching that usually lead teachers in school to devote too much time to the treatment of inessential aspects to the detriment of more fundamental arguments. Among these we discuss the importance of numerical approximations, significant digits, […]
