This bundle of books (4 in 1) takes readers on an enlightening journey through the everyday applications of physics, with a focus on the profound impact that physics has on our daily lives. The book draws on the spirit of the legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics, offering accessible and engaging explanations of complex physical concepts. From the basic principles of motion to the way light and sound interact with our world, the text explores how fundamental physics shapes the way we experience reality. It delves into the physics of everyday things, helping readers understand the mechanics behind familiar objects and activities, such as how refrigerators work or why the sky is blue.

The book also provides in-depth insight into the physics of light and color, explaining the fascinating behavior of electromagnetic waves and the science behind vision, color perception, and optical phenomena. Additionally, it explores the physics of sound, from the science of musical instruments to the way sound waves travel through air. This comprehensive approach to applied physics highlights the relevance of physics in our day-to-day existence and illustrates how even the most basic physical principles underpin the technology and experiences we often take for granted.
