Basic Concepts of Modern Physics

By Nathaniel Wren

Modern physics is the branch of physics that unifies the principles of quantum mechanics and Einsteinian relativity, offering a framework to understand phenomena under extreme conditions. It is essential for analyzing systems at microscopic scales, where quantum effects prevail, and at velocities nearing the speed of light, where relativistic effects become prominent. While both quantum and relativistic phenomena are present at all scales, their impact is typically negligible in everyday experiences. Foundational concepts such as black-body radiation, the Franck-Hertz experiment, the photoelectric effect, and the Stern-Gerlach experiment played a pivotal role in shaping modern physics within the quantum framework. Similarly, key developments in relativistic physics stem from experiments like the Michelson-Morley experiment, gravitational lensing, and the perihelion precession of Mercury. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of modern physics. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of the field. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
