About Images
Professor Walter Lewin demonstrates that the period of a pendulum is independent of the mass hanging from the pendulum. This demonstration can be viewed on the video of Lecture 10.
Professor Lewin puts his life on the line in Lecture 11 by demonstrating his faith in the Conservation of Mechanical Energy.

About the Lectures
The 35 video lectures by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during the Fall of 1999. Prof. Lewin is well-known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and engaging lecture style.Thisis a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Binary Stars, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Resonance Phenomena, Musical Instruments, Stellar Collapse, Supernovae, Astronomical observations from very high flying balloons (lecture 35), and you will be allowed a peek into the intriguing Quantum World.This lecture series can be very useful to aspirants of engineering exams like IIT-JEE and AIEEE.

Plz i m in a big trouble . i have downloaded 5-6 video lectures but there is no way i can save them on my computer. it says that you should have a Quicktime 7 Pro...which is not available on net...help me or else this wonderful download would go in waste...
regards
esh

Dont worry.. It is not necessary to have quick time Pro on your PC
Use VLC media player ..download it [a small file]http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ run the setup and
then go to the files u downloaded, right click them, select open program with and then choose VLC media player from the list...
Let me know if that helped

i want the second part of this plzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!1

Pravin Sharma said...

The complete classical mechanics course is right here on this website! Please tell me what do you want!

tis is nize :)
many thx for this :)

jitesh said...

I wnt to whether these are the only lectures to sudy for iit and nothing else.
But these are only lectures for physics and what about chemistry and maths.

Pravin Sharma said...

Currently there are no Chemistry or Maths lectures available for Download. However you can request for streaming videos on any topic you desire. These are Physics lectures, so they can be used wherever Physics is used.
