Richard Feynman talking with a teaching assistant after the lecture on The Dependence of Amplitudes on Time, Robert Leighton (left) and Matthew Sands (right) in background, April 29, 1963. Photographs by Tom Harvey.
Caltech and The Feynman Lectures Website are pleased to present this online edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Now, anyone with internet access and a web browser can enjoy reading a high quality up-to-date copy of Feynman's legendary lectures.
Interference experiment with bullets. To try to understand the quantum behavior of electrons, we shall compare and contrast their behavior, in a particular experimental setup, with the more familiar behavior of particles like bullets, and with the behavior of waves like water waves.

About Feynman's Messenger Lectures. In 1963 Richard Feynman was invited to give the 1964 Messenger Lectures at Cornell University, an annual tradition since 1924, when Hiram Messenger gifted Cornell with "a fund to provide a course of lectures on the Evolution of Civilization for the special purpose of raising the moral standard of our ...
The Feynman Lectures On Physics are known worldwide as a classic resource covering practically the entire domain (up to 1961-1963, the era in which the lectures were given) from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through Einstein's general relativity, superconductivity, and quantum mechanics.
1–1 Introduction. This two-year course in physics is presented from the point of view that you, the reader, are going to be a physicist. This is not necessarily the case of course, but that is what every professor in every subject assumes!
The electric and magnetic fields are, then, viewed as vector functions of $x$, $y$, $z$, and $t$. Since a vector is specified by its components, each of the fields $\FLPE (x,y,z,t)$ and $\FLPB (x,y,z,t)$ represents three mathematical functions of $x$, $y$, $z$, and $t$.
These are the tape recordings of Richard Feynman's 1961-64 Caltech Introductory Physics lectures, which form the basis of the books The Feynman Lectures on Physics and Feynman's Tips on Physics. The original recordings were made on 1/4" reel-to-reel tapes, now preserved in Caltech's Archive.
