The Web Option and Research in Physics

Abstract

Various options and opportunities offered by the web to the study and practice of physics have been reviewed. Rather than work individually the web provides the option of working as a team. Rather than go from place to place in search of physics information the browsing technique of the web is seen to provide the option of obtaining any kind of information across the globe from one's office or workstation. Websites are seen as global reservoir of ordinary and expensive information, pricelessly accessible by the privileged and less privileged. Favoured as well is the option of passing physics instructions across the web rather than the classroom alone. The web is seen to have broken the restriction imposed by distance on global communication so that all kinds of physics materials can be shared across the globe. Study shows that the web has a lot of options and opportunities for the broad field of physics.
Keywords: Web, Physics- information, Website, Option, Globe.
