Volume 4: Modern Physics & Quantum Mechanics

Welcome to Volume 4: Modern Physics & Quantum Mechanics. This volume bridges classical physics and quantum reality, covering matter waves, atomic transitions, nuclear forces, and relativistic spacetime.


Chapters in this Volume

  1. 1. Photoelectric Effect & Matter Waves
    Einstein's photoelectric equation, stopping potential V0(ν) vs frequency, threshold work function Φ, de Broglie wavelength.

  2. 2. Atomic Structure & Spectral Series
    Bohr's quantization postulate, orbital scaling (rn,vn,En), Rydberg formula for Lyman/Balmer/Paschen hydrogen series.

  3. 3. Nuclear Physics & Radioactive Decay
    Mass defect & binding energy per nucleon (BE/A), Rutherford nuclear size, exponential radioactive decay kinetics (N(t)=N0eλt).

  4. 4. Special Relativity Fundamentals
    Postulates of Special Relativity, Lorentz factor γ, time dilation, length contraction, relativistic velocity addition, E2=p2c2+m02c4.
