Principles of Modern Physics covers important developments in physics during the twentieth century. Beginning with the development of the quantum concept and radiation laws, followed by Einstein's special relativity, it covers atomic structure, basics of spectra, basic (non relativistic) quantum mechanics with an introduction to Dirac's relativistic wave equation and the problem of hydrogen atom. This follows the statistical distribution laws, X-rays and physics of solids, their imperfections, magnetic properties and superconductivity (including newly discovered high Tc superconductors), Zeeman and Stark effects, Lasers, nuclear physics, radio-activity, nuclear fission and fusion, particle accelerators and detectors. It features a discussion on Universe (including stellar evolution Chandrasekhar limit, black holes and big-bang theory), elementary particles (including tau-theta puzzle, SU(2) and SU(3) symmetry, the Eightfold- way, ...

Introduction to Modern Physics, Second Edition is a 16-chapter text that discusses the principles of modern physics. This book deals first with the basic topics of modern science including the atomic nature of matter and electricity; the theory of relativity; the old quantum theory; waves and particles; and the Schrödinger equation. The subsequent chapters cover other general topics of molecular spectra, superconductivity, and the biological effects of radiation, illustrating the fundamental quantum theory of angular momentum and the harmonic oscillator. The remaining chapters explore the properties of nucleus, nuclear transformation, and interactions of particles. This book is an invaluable source for undergraduate quantum mechanics students.

This textbook presents a basic course in physics to teach mechanics, mechanical properties of matter, thermal properties of matter, elementary thermodynamics, electrodynamics, electricity, magnetism, light and optics and sound. It includes simple mathematical approaches to each physical principle, and all examples and exercises are selected carefully to reinforce each chapter. In addition, answers to all exercises are included that should ultimately help solidify the concepts in the minds of the students and increase their confidence in the subject. Many boxed features are used to separate the examples from the text and to highlight some important physical outcomes and rules. The appendices are chosen in such a way that all basic simple conversion factors, basic rules and formulas, basic rules of differentiation and integration can be viewed quickly, helping student to understand the elementary mathematical steps used for solving the examples and exercises. Instructors teaching form this textbook will be able to gain online access to the solutions manual which provides step-by-step solutions to all exercises contained in the book. The solutions manual also contains many tips, coloured illustrations, and explanations on how the solutions were derived.
