Modern Physics For Engineers

Modern Physics

This book is a readable andcomprehensive account of the physics that has developed over the last hundredyears and led to today’s ubiquitous technology. The authors lead the reader through relativity, quantum mechanics, and the mostimportant applications of both of these fascinating theories. With more than 100 years of combined teaching experience and PhDs in particle, nuclear, and condensed-matter physics, these three authors could hardly be better qualified to write this introduction to modern physics. They have combined their award-winning teaching skills with their experience writing best-selling textbooks to produce a readable and comprehensive account of the physics that has developed over the last hundred years and led to today’s ubiquitous technology. Assuming the knowledge of a typical freshman course in classical physics, they lead the reader through relativity, quantum mechanics, and the most important applications of both of these fascinating theories.

MODERN PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS

Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers provides thorough understanding of concepts and principles of Modern Physics with their applications. The various concepts of Modern Physics are arranged logically and explained in simple reader friendly language. For proper understanding of the subject, a large number of problems with their step-by-step solutions are provided for every concept. University problems have been included in all chapters. A set of theoretical, numerical and multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter will help readers to understand the subject. This textbook covers broad variety of topics of interest in Modern Physics: The Special Theory of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics (Dual Nature of Particle as well as Schrödinger’s Equations with Applications), Atomic Physics, Molecular Physics, Nuclear Physics, Solid State Physics, Superconductivity, X-Rays, Lasers, Optical Fibres, and Motion of Charged Particle in Electromagnetic Fields. The book is designed as a textbook for the undergraduate students of science and engineering.
