Book excerpt: Althought Concepts of Modern Physics was the first book covering the syllabi of punjab technical university,Jalandhar and it was accepted whole-heartedly by students and teachers alike.However,due to the repeated changes of sullabi of P.T.U. as it being a new university,the book had to be revised and some of the chapters become redundant as these were replaced by new topics.Though the book was revised with the additional chapters,the discarded chapters also formed the part of the book.
Download or read book Engineering Physics written by Purnima Khare and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning. This book was released on 2010 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text/reference provides students, practicing engineers, and scientists with the fundamental physical laws and modern applications used in industry. Unlike many of its competitors, modern physics theory (e.g., quantum physics) and its applications are discussed in detail, including laser techniques and fiber optics, nuclear fusion, digital electronics, wave optics, and more. An extensive review of Boolean algebra and logic gates is also included. Because of its in-text examples with solutions and self-study exercise sets, the book can be used as a refresher for engineering licensing exams or as a full year course. It emphasizes only the level of mathematics needed to master concepts used in industry.

Download or read book Modern Physics for Engineers written by Jasprit Singh and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-11-20 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linking physics fundamentals to modern technology-a highly applied primer for students and engineers Reminding us that modern inventions-new materials, information technologies, medical technological breakthroughs-are based on well-established fundamental principles of physics, Jasprit Singh integrates important topics from quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, and materials science, as well as the special theory of relativity. He then goes a step farther and applies these fundamentals to the workings of electronic devices-an essential leap for anyone interested in developing new technologies. From semiconductors to nuclear magnetic resonance to superconducting materials to global positioning systems, Professor Singh draws on wide-ranging applications to demonstrate each concept under discussion. He downplays extended mathematical derivations in favor of results and their real-world design implication, supplementing the book with nearly 100 solved examples, 120 figures, and 200 end-of-chapter problems. Modern Physics for Engineers provides engineering and physics students with an accessible, unified introduction to the complex world underlying today's design-oriented curriculums. It is also an extremely useful resource for engineers and applied scientists wishing to take advantage of research opportunities in diverse fields.

Download or read book Concepts Of Modern Physics The Haifa Lectures written by Mendel Sachs and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights foundational issues in theoretical physics in an informal, open style of lecture. It expresses the flow of ideas in physics — from the period of Galileo and Newton to the contemporary ideas of the quantum and relativity theories, astrophysics and cosmology — as explanations for the laws of matter. Rather than presenting the ideas of physics as a fait accompli, the book leaves it up to the reader to decide which of these 20th-century ideas in science will carry over to the 21st century for our further comprehension of the laws of nature in all domains, from that of elementary particles to cosmology.It is the contention of the author that our future progress in physics comprehension will only take place when the foundational controversies between the quantum and relativity theories are recognized and discussion is given to their resolution. The book, therefore, presents an attitude not normally taken in other present-day books on subjects in contemporary theoretical physics and cosmology./a
Download or read book Concepts of Mass in Contemporary Physics and Philosophy written by Max Jammer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of mass is one of the most fundamental notions in physics, comparable in importance only to those of space and time. But in contrast to the latter, which are the subject of innumerable physical and philosophical studies, the concept of mass has been but rarely investigated. Here Max Jammer, a leading philosopher and historian of physics, provides a concise but comprehensive, coherent, and self-contained study of the concept of mass as it is defined, interpreted, and applied in contemporary physics and as it is critically examined in the modern philosophy of science. With its focus on theories proposed after the mid-1950s, the book is the first of its kind, covering the most recent experimental and theoretical investigations into the nature of mass and its role in modern physics, from the realm of elementary particles to the cosmology of galaxies. The book begins with an analysis of the persistent difficulties of defining inertial mass in a noncircular manner and discusses the related question of whether mass is an observational or a theoretical concept. It then studies the notion of mass in special relativity and the delicate problem of whether the relativistic rest mass is the only legitimate notion of mass and whether it is identical with the classical (Newtonian) mass. This is followed by a critical analysis of the different derivations of the famous mass-energy relationship E = mc2 and its conflicting interpretations. Jammer then devotes a chapter to the distinction between inertial and gravitational mass and to the various versions of the so-called equivalence principle with which Newton initiated his Principia but which also became the starting point of Einstein's general relativity, which supersedes Newtonian physics. The book concludes with a presentation of recently proposed global and local dynamical theories of the origin and nature of mass. Destined to become a much-consulted reference for philosophers and physicists, this book is also written for the nonprofessional general reader interested in the foundations of physics.
Download or read book Introduction to Physics in Modern Medicine written by Suzanne Amador Kane and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-11-28 with total page 358 pages.
