This book originated from the need for a suitable student text for the course ''An Introduction to Modern Physics'' given at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This course is open to all students who have completed the standard first-year physics courses in mechanics, optics, electricity and magnetism. Its primary goal is to produce graduates who are - whatever their field of specialisation - ''modern-physics-literate''. The presentation of the course material emphasises the physical aspects of the phenomena.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This second edition of the successful textbook Modern Physics: An Introductory Text, preserves the unique blend of readability, scientific rigour and authenticity that made its predecessor so indispensible a text for non-physics science majors. As in the first edition, it sets out to present 20th century physics in a form accessible and useful to students of the life sciences, medicine, agricultural, earth and environmental sciences. It has also proved valuable as a first reader and source text for students majoring in the physical sciences and engineering.Taking the discovery of the electron, the formulation of Maxwellian electromagnetism and Einstein's elucidation of Brownian motion as its starting point, the text proceeds to a comprehensive presentation of the three seminal ideas of 20th century physics: Special and General Relativity, Quantum Theory and the Nuclear Atom. From here the text moves on to the new discoveries prompted by these ideas: their impact on our understanding of natural phenomena and their application to the development and invention of the devices and technologies that define the 21st century.Two new chapters on Einstein's elucidation of Brownian motion and Quantum Electrodynamics have been added to the detailed treatment of the major topics. Questions, exercises and problems for student assignments are found at the end of each of the six parts into which the text is divided; answers to the numerical questions are at the end of the book. The techniques by which trigonometric functions, phasors (rotating vectors) and complex numbers are employed in the mathematical description of wave motion are summarised in a supplementary section. In consideration of the audience for whom the book is intended, all mathermatics other than that required for descriptive or illustrative purposes have been omitted from the main body of the text and incorporated into the 47 worked examples and 11 appendices. This volume originated from the need for a suitable student text for the course "An Introduction to Modern Physics" given at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The presentation of the course material emphasizes the physical aspects of the phenomena. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
