商品描述

Concepts of Modern Physics is an updated, accessible presentation of modern physics available. The book is intended to be used in a one-semester course on modern physics for students who have aleady had basic physics and calculus courses. The balance of the book leans more toward ideas than experimental methods and practical applications because the beginning student is better served by a conceptual framework than by a mass of details. The sequence of topics follows a logical, rather than strictly historical, order. Relativity and quantum ideas are considered first to provide a framework for understanding the physics of atoms and nuclei. The theory of the atom is then developed, and followed by a discussion of the properties of aggregates of atoms, which includes a look at statistical mechanics. Finally atomic nuclei and elementary particles are examined.

 

    • The presentation concentrates more on building a conceptual framework of ideas rather than on experimental methods and applications.
    • The sequence of topics is logical (one idea flows from the previous) rather than historical.
    • Important topics are introduced on a relatively elementary level.
    • Exercises are at a variety of levels ranging from the very easy to those that require more thoughtful consideration of the material.
    • Updated with topics on special relativity, quantum mechanics, and elementary particles received major revisions within this new edition. In addition, smaller changes and updates were made throughout the book and several new tipics were added, for example Einstein's derivation of the Planck radiation law. More material on the aspects of astrophysics that illustrate important elements of modern physics have also been added throughout the text where relevant.

  • New To This Edition
    • New introduction chapter to introduce modern physics in the context of its development, covering the discoveries; from "atom to quantum".
    • Topics re-arranged and new section on Computational Physics added in chapter on Relativity.
    • New examples on modern applications in selected early chapters.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《現代物理概念》是一本更新且易於理解的現代物理教材。本書旨在為已修習基礎物理和微積分課程的學生提供一學期的現代物理課程。本書的內容更偏向於概念而非實驗方法和實際應用，因為初學者更需要一個概念框架，而非大量細節。本書的主題順序遵循邏輯順序，而非嚴格的歷史順序。首先介紹相對論和量子理論，以提供理解原子和核物理的框架。然後發展原子理論，並討論原子集合的性質，包括統計力學。最後探討原子核和基本粒子。

本書的特點如下：
- 更注重建立概念框架，而非實驗方法和應用。
- 主題順序邏輯（一個概念從前一個概念延伸），而非歷史順序。
- 重要主題以相對較基礎的水平介紹。
- 練習題涵蓋各種難度，從非常簡單的到需要更深思考材料的題目。
- 本新版增加了特殊相對論、量子力學和基本粒子等主題的重大修訂。此外，全書還進行了一些小的更改和更新，並增加了幾個新的主題，例如愛因斯坦對普朗克輻射定律的推導。在相關章節中，還增加了更多關於天體物理學的材料，以展示現代物理的重要元素。

本版新增內容如下：
- 新增引言章節，以在發展的背景下介紹現代物理，涵蓋從「原子到量子」的發現。
- 重新排列主題並在相對論章節中新增了計算物理的部分。
- 在早期章節中新增了現代應用的例子。
