  1. Fill in a, the where necessary.

  1. "In Einstein's theory of relativity the observer is a man who sets out in quest of truth armed with a measuring-rod. In quantum theory he sets out with a sieve." Sir Arthur Eddington

  2. "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love." Albert Einstein 

  3. "In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." Galileo Galilei

  1. Edit the Ukrainian translation (b).

  1. "The physicist may be satisfied when he has the mathematical scheme and knows how to use for the interpretation of the experiments. But he has to speak about his results also to non-physicists who will not be satisfied unless some explanation is given in plain language. Even for the physicist the description in plain language will be the criterion of the degree of understanding that has been reached." Werner Heisenberg

  2. "Фізик може бути задоволено, якщо у нього є математичні схеми і знає, як використовувати для інтерпретації експериментів. Але він повинен говорити про його результати і не-фізиків, які не будуть задоволені, якщо якесь пояснення дається на простому мовою. Навіть для фізиків опис на простій мові буде критерієм ступеня розуміння того, що було досягнуто." Вернер Гейзенберг

SPEAKING

  1. Tell your partner about one or two new things about physics you have found out at the lesson.

  2. Imagine that you are a great scientist working in a certain field of physics. You are invited to the university to tell students about your research or discovery.

  3. L ook at the table with equations. Think of the authors of these equations and their contribution to science.

What stories do you know about these scientists?

Equation

Scientist

Contribution

Albert Einstein

Equation for energy

Einstein's equation, E=mc², expresses an equivalency between mass and energy. Mass and energy are two different manifestations of the same thing. Mass is just another form of energy, or energy is just another form of mass. Hence mass can convert into energy, and energy can convert into mass.

The equation, E=mc², acts as a conversion factor telling how much mass converts into how much energy. The quantity, E, represents the amount of energy; m represents the amount of mass; and c represents the speed of light. If mass converts into energy, multiplying the amount of mass by the speed of light squared gives the amount of energy produced.

FA = ρgV

Archimedes of Syracuse 

The law of Archimedes

the principle known in hydrostatics as Archimedes' Principle, which he describes in his treatise On Floating Bodies, states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.

F = ma

Isaak Newton

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that when a force acts on an object, it will cause the object to accelerate. The larger the mass of the object, the greater the force will need to be to cause it to accelerate.

I = V/R

Georg Simon Ohm

Ohm's law

Ohm’s law stated that the amount of steady current through a material is directly proportional to the voltage across the material, for some fixed temperature

pV=const

Robert Boyle

Boyle's law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle-Mariotte law) is one of many gas laws and a special case of the ideal gas law. Boyle's law describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662. The law itself can be stated as follows:

For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one doubles, the other halves).

  1. Work in small groups. Read about top 10 breakthroughs in physics for 2011 −20... and share your information with your fellowmates (Further Reading, UNIT 9).

  2. In pairs ask and answer questions based on the text "The Famous Work of Ernest Rutherford" (Further Reading, UNIT 9).

LISTENING

  1. Listen to the text “Physics” and decide whether the following statements are true or false.

  1. Physics is comparatively modern science. False

  2. Physics doesn’t deal with such sciences as philosophy, biology. False

  3. Classical physics became a separate science. True

  4. Natural science was developed from the 4th to 10th centuries BC. True

  5. Experimental physics appeared in the Ancient Greece. False

  1. Complete the sentences with information from the text you have listened to.

  1. New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms in other sciences.

  2. Physics makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies and in

understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics.

  1. Physics is used to understand the behavior of natural phenomena and proved that every

event has a natural cause.

  1. Early modern Europeans used experimental methods to discover laws of physics.

  2. Modern physics started with the works of Einstein both in relativity and quantum physics.

WRITING

  1. W rite an abstract to the text "The dawn of atomic physics".

  2. Work in small groups. You want to create some hyperlinks for the text "The dawn of atomic physics" with the aim of placing it on the Internet. Write some information to the following: Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen, Antoine Henri Becque­rel, Marie and Pierre Curie, po­lonium.

  3. Read the text "The Famous Work of Ernest Rutherford" (Further Reading, Unit 9) and write 5 sentences about the contribution of Ernest Rutherford to science.
