About
Brought to you by the physics department at Leyton Sixth Form College.
This is a site primarily for those interested in reading around their subject. Much of the information and sources provided here will not deal with examined content, this is purely for interest in physics.
To get started I highly recommend watching an introductory lecture by Walter Lewin - http://youtu.be/PmJV8CHIqFc.
