Modern Physics, 2/e
Modern Physics, Second Edition provides a clear, precise, and contemporary introduction to the theory, experiment, and applications of modern physics. Ideal for both physics majors and engineers, this eagerly awaited second edition puts the modern back into modern physics courses. Pedagogical features throughout the text focus the reader on the core concepts and theories while offering optional, more advanced sections, examples, and cutting-edge applications to suit a variety of students and courses. Critically acclaimed for his lucid style, in the second edition, Randy Harris applies the same insights into recent developments in physics, engineering, and technology.
Features
- A contemporary approach that incorporates recent developments in physics and up-to-date applications in engineering and technology make the physics relevant and engaging.
- Critically acclaimed for a lucid and precise style, the book carefully balances concepts, theory, experimental data, and theory.
- It strives for complete exposition of fundamental ideas while addressing common misconceptions.
- Progress and Applications sections survey current applications of the theories described in the chapter.
- Students see how what they learn applies to their chosen career and the opportunities available for professional physicists and engineers.
- Worked Examples in the text carefully walk students step-by-step through solving problems to better prepare them to tackle the end-of-chapter problems.
- Optional/Advanced sections are clearly labeled so that professors can pick and choose sections to optimally match the level, scope, and emphasis of their course.
