Summary

"Modern Physics second edition provides you with a clear, precise, and contemporary introduction to the theories, experiments, and applications of modern physics. Ideal for both physics and engineering majors, this eagerly awaited Second Edition will give you a "modern" perspective on 20th- and 21st-century physics topics. Pedagogical features throughout the text help you focus on core concepts and theories, while optional sections, advanced content, real-world examples, and cutting-edge applications give you the opportunity to expand your knowledge and appreciation of modern physics. Critically acclaimed for his lucid style and presentation, Randy Harris applies the same approach to recent developments in physics, engineering, and technology in the Second Edition"--Back cover.
