Description
This book provides an introduction to modern physics for students who
have completed an academic year of general physics. As a continuation
of introductory general physics, it includes the subject areas of classical
relativity (Chapter 1), Einstein’s special theory of relativity (Chapters
224), the old quantum theory (Chapters 527), an introduction to quantum
mechanics (Chapters 8210), and introductory classical and quantum
statistical mechanics (Chapters 11212). In a two-term course, Chapters
127 may be covered in the first term and Chapters 8212 in the second.
For schools offering a one-term course in modern physics, many of the
topics in Chapters 127 may have previously been covered; consequently,
the portions of this textbook to be covered might include parts of the old
quantum theory, all of quantum mechanics, and possibly some of the topics
in statistical mechanics.
