For more than 30 years, Richard P. Feynman's three-volume Lectures on Physics has been known worldwide as the classic resource for students and professionals alike. Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as Einstein's general relativity, superconductivity, and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight. This timeless audio serves as a comprehensive library of essential physics by a legend in science.
Volume 8 makes up a course in light, and includes chapters on geometrical optics, diffraction, interference, electromagnetic radiation, and more.

"Great introduction to quantum mechanics, assuming you already know a bunch of applied math/mathematical physics. Feynman is engaging and tries really hard to reach the first-time student of the subject, but the presentation and language are a bit dated now. " — Karl (4 out of 5 stars)

" Very informative and very fun to read. I never imagined Feynman had such a powerful accent. "
" Quirky approach to physics. Excellent as a supplement; I wouldn't recommend this as your first approach to physics. "
" This is an excellent set of physics lectures. Feynman was very talented at right to heart of the matter and making everything seem obvious. "
Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988) earned a BS from MIT and a PhD from Princeton. From 1942 to 1945, he assisted with the development of the atomic bomb. He then taught at Cornell and Caltech, where he contributed to the theories of superfluidity and quarks. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
