A concise and accurate guide to the terminology of physics and related disciplines. With over 4,500 entries, "The Penguin Dictionary of Physics" provides an up-to-date and authoritative guide to the subject. Extensively cross-referenced, it also covers related scientific fields such as physical chemistry, astronomy, medical physics, computing and engineering. The dictionary has been extensively revised to cover developments in physics since the first edition, particularly in such fields as quantum physics, nuclear and particle physics, solid-state physics, electronics and computer science. It will prove useful to students, teachers and others whose work or interest brings them into contact with physical sciences. Numerous entries have been added, including catastrophe theory and chaos theory, cosmic strings and cellular telephone, the greenhouse effect and high temperature superconductivity, quantum chromodynamics and the scanning-tunnelling microscope, S-drops, strange matter - and many more.
