DESCRIPTION: This combination of study guide and workbook covers the following essential topics from modern physics:

• special relativity (concepts and mathematics)
• blackbody radiation (in-depth coverage)
• the photoelectric effect (concepts and equations)
• Schrödinger's equation (thorough solutions to the most basic problems: the step potential, barrier potential, and square well)
• the Compton effect (including the derivation)
• Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (in terms of momentum and also energy)
• the de Broglie relation (and related formulas)
• Bohr's model of the atom (includes dozens of equations)
