Acerca de este libro electrónico
This book offers a detailed presentation of a wide range of interesting topics, starting from the special theory of relativity, basics of quantum mechanics, atomic physics, spectroscopic studies of molecular structures, solid state physics, and proceeding all the way to exciting areas such as lasers, fibre optics and holography. An in-depth treatment of the different aspects of nuclear physics focuses on nuclear properties, nuclear models, fission, fusion, particle accelerators and detectors. The book concludes with a chapter on elementary interactions, symmetries, conservation laws, the quark model and the grand unified theory.
Clear and readable, this book is eminently suitable as a text for B.Sc. (physics) course.
Some of the special features that distinguish this text are:
• Worked-out examples representing typical problems consolidate the student's comprehension of the basic theory.
• Review questions at the end of each chapter facilitate easy recognition of particular physics concepts and build confidence.
• End-of-chapter problems with answers, from the simple plug-ins to increasing order of difficulty, strengthen the student's problem-solving ability.
