Introduction to Diagrams Throughout the course, there will be a
persistent appeal to your ability to represent physical concepts
in a visual manner. You will quickly notice that this effort to
provide visual representation of physical concepts permeates
much of the discussion in The Physics Classroom Tutorial. The
world that we study in physics is a physical world - a world
that we can see. And if we can see it, we certainly ought to
visualize it. And if we seek to understand it, then that
understanding ought to involve visual representations. So as you
continue your pursuit of physics understanding, always be
mindful of your ability (or lack of ability) to visually
represent it. Monitor your study and learning habits, asking if
your knowledge has become abstracted to a series of vocabulary
words that have (at least in your own mind) no relation to the
physical world which it seeks to de
