Question

Though the statement quoted above may be disputed, most physicists do have a feeling that the great laws of physics are at once simple and beautiful. Some of the notable physicists, besides Dirac, who have articulated this feeling, are Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Chandrasekhar and Feynman. You are urged to make special efforts to get access to the general books and writings by these and other great masters of physics. (See the Bibliography at the end of this book.) Their writings are truly inspiring!


Solution

It is completely true that the great laws of Physics are simple and beautiful

Few examples are given below:
(i) Einstein's mass-energy equivalence is simple and beautiful.
(ii) According to Max Planck's quantum, the energy of a Photon is E = h𝜈, is also simple and beautiful.
(iii) De- Broglie wavelength associated with a Particle of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is given by $\lambda=\frac{h}{m \cdot v} .$ It is also simple and beautiful.
