Essential Modern Physics Study Guide Workbook

DESCRIPTION: This combination of study guide and workbook covers the following essential topics from modern physics:special relativity (concepts and mathematics)blackbody radiation (in-depth coverage)the photoelectric effect (concepts and equations)Schrödinger's equation (thorough solutions to the most basic problems: the step potential, barrier potential, and square well)the Compton effect (including the derivation)Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (in terms of momentum and also energy)the de Broglie relation (and related formulas)Bohr's model of the atom (includes dozens of equations)

This combination of physics study guide and workbook focuses on essential problem-solving skills and strategies:Fully solved examples with explanations show you step-by-step how to solve standard university physics problems.Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units.Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples.Answers, hints, intermediate answers, and explanations are provided for every practice exercise.Terms and concepts which are essential to solving physics problems are defined and explained.

This book basically caters to the needs of undergraduates and graduates physics students in the area of classical physics, specially Classical Mechanics and Electricity and Electromagnetism. Lecturers/ Tutors may use it as a resource book. The contents of the book are based on the syllabi currently used in the undergraduate courses in USA, U.K., and other countries. The book is divided into 15 chapters, each chapter beginning with a brief but adequate summary and necessary formulas and Line diagrams followed by a variety of typical problems useful for assignments and exams. Detailed solutions are provided at the end of each chapter.

This text offers a comprehensive, thorough presentation of modern physics. It is distinguished from other texts in the field by its clear and accessible presentation. Sandin introduces each new topic with relevant examples and uses numerous analogies throughout to clarify difficult concepts. There are over 250 in-text worked examples, and over 1100 end-of-chapter problems. In addition to the standard topics of modern physics, the text includes material on cosmology, the Big Bang theory, and grand unified theories.

For the intermediate-level course, the Fifth Edition of this widely used text takes modern physics textbooks to a higher level. With a flexible approach to accommodate the various ways of teaching the course (both one- and two-term tracks are easily covered), the authors recognize the audience and its need for updated coverage, mathematical rigor, and features to build and support student understanding. Continued are the superb explanatory style, the up-to-date topical coverage, and the Web enhancements that gained earlier editions worldwide recognition. Enhancements include a streamlined approach to nuclear physics, thoroughly revised and updated coverage on particle physics and astrophysics, and a review of the essential Classical Concepts important to students studying Modern Physics.

LEVEL: This book covers waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light from trig-based physics at the university level.

Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units. Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples. Answers, hints, intermediate answers, and explanations are provided for every practice exercise. Terms and concepts which are essential to solving physics problems are defined and explained.VOLUME: This volume covers waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light, including simple harmonic motion, standing waves, the Doppler effect, Archimedes¿ principle, the laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, principles of optics, Snell¿s law, thin lenses, spherical mirrors, diffraction, interference, polarization, and more.

LEVEL: This book covers waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light from physics with calculus at the university level. (If instead you're looking for a trig-based physics book, search for ISBN 1941691188.) Note that the calculus-based edition includes all of material from the trig-based book, plus coverage of the calculus-based material. In this volume, the calculus is mostly limited to thermal physics.DESCRIPTION: This combination of physics study guide and workbook focuses on essential problem-solving skills and strategies: Fully solved examples with explanations show you step-by-step how to solve standard university physics problems.
