1. Modern Physics by Raymond A. Serway, Clement J.
Moses, Curt A. Moyer, Hardcover: 648 pages, Publisher:
Brooks Cole
Accessible and flexible, this edition has been
specifically designed to provide simple, clear, and
mathematically uncomplicated explanations of physical
concepts and theories of modern physics. The authors
clarify and show support for these theories through a
broad range of current applications and examples,
attempting to answer questions such as: What holds
molecules together? How do electrons tunnel through
barriers? How do electrons move through solids? How can
currents persist indefinitely in superconductors? To
pique student interest, brief sketches of the historical
development of twentieth-century physics such as
anecdotes and quotations from key figures as well as
interesting photographs of noted scientists and original
apparatus are integrated throughout.
2. Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers,
Second Edition by John Taylor, Chris Zafiratos, Michael
A. Dubson, Hardcover: 736 pages, Publisher: Prentice
Hall
Refreshingly contemporary, this beginning-level
introduction to modern physics covers all the important
topics of relativity, quantum mechanics, systems with
two or more atoms, and subatomic physics, but does so in
a manner that won't overwhelm readers who are new to the
subject. Explanations of concepts are exceptionally
readable (often enlivened with humor), and an abundance
of high-quality worked examples and practice problems
give readers the hands-on practice necessary to master
applications. The Space and Time of Relativity.
Relativistic Mechanics. Atoms. Quantization of Light.
Quantization of Atomic Energy Levels. Matter Waves. The
Schrödinger Equation in One Dimension. The
Three-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation. Electron Spin.
Multielectron Atoms; the Pauli Principle and the
Periodic Table. Atomic Transitions and Radiation.
Molecules. Solids Theory. Solids Applications.
Statistical Mechanics. The Structure of Atomic Nuclei.
Radioactivity and Nuclear Reactions. Elementary
Particles. For anyone needing an introduction to, or
refresher of, modern physics.
3. Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern
Physics: A Strategic Approach by Randall D. Knight,
Hardcover: 1596 pages, Publisher: Addison Wesley
Built from the ground up on our new understanding of how
students learn physics, Randall Knight's introductory
university physics textbook leads readers to a deeper
understanding of the concepts and more proficient
problem-solving skills. This authoritative text provides
effective learning strategies and in-depth instruction
to better guide readers around the misconceptions and
preconceptions they often bring to the course. The
superior problem-solving pedagogy of this book uses a
detailed, methodical approach that sequentially builds
skills and confidence for tackling more complex
problems. Knight combines rigorous quantitative coverage
with a descriptive, inductive approach that leads to a
deeper student understanding of the core concepts.
Pictorial, graphical, algebraic, and descriptive
representations for each concept are skillfully combined
to provide a resource that students with different
learning styles can readily grasp. A comprehensive,
integrated approach introducing key topics of physics,
including Newton's Laws, Conservation Laws, Newtonian
Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Wave and Optics, Electricity
and Magnetism, and Modern Physics. For college
instructors, students, or anyone with an interest in
physics.
4. Making Waves (Masters of Modern Physics) by
Charles H. Townes, Hardcover: 320 pages, Publisher: AIP
Press
Throughout his career Charles Townes has tended to avoid
staying in fields that become too popular; consequently,
his work has been characterized by great diversity. This
selection of writings, taken from different phases of
Towne's professional and personal life, reflects that
diversity. Readers will discover brilliant and
insightful essays on such wide ranging fields as maser
and laser technology, quantum electronics, microwave
spectroscopy, and molecules in interstellar space, along
with thought-provoking spiritual views on how science
and religion come together.
5.
Modern Physics, Second Edition by Hans C. Ohanian,
Paperback: 576 pages, Prentice Hall
This textbook provides a smooth transition from introductory
into modern physics, the physics of the 20th century.
The mathematics is kept simple, so students can better
concentrate on the important physical concepts.
