Modern Physics

Modern Physics is a comprehensive and well-written book in accordance with the latest revised syllabus prescribed by the UGC. It provides a thorough understanding of the concepts and principles of Modern Physics, their relations, and applications with the help of a good number of worked-out typical problems, short question–answers, objective questions and exercises. The text of the book is a detailed and systematic presentation of wide ranging topics of interest in modern physics—molecular spectroscopy, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, solid state physics, lasers, holography, optical fibres, semiconductors, superconductivity, etc. An extensive treatment of each chapter covering all important mathematical steps has been done. The text is updated with relevant recent advances. About Author: S S. L. KAKANI, Ph. D., is presently Director, Mewar Girls Institute of Management & Technology, Chittorgarh (Raj.).
