Modern Physics

by Kenneth S. Krane

Emphasizing the empirical basis of modern physics, much of this popular textbook has been rewritten to improve clarity and aid in comprehension. Color has been added to the artwork to enhance the pedagogy--a color photo section contains examples of the many true- and false-color photos to illustrate phenomena discussed. Features new material on the justification for band theory, superconductivity, applications of nuclear physics, cosmology and general relativity and dark matter. Includes examples of new studies of wave-particle duality for light and the latest experimental research on the wave nature of particles. All end-of-chapter reading lists have been updated.

I felt it was as good as you could get for a modern physics book. Short to the point, and worth it.

This is one of the best books I've come across to begin with the study of modern physics. It is essentially an introductory course on quantum mechanics and special relativity and combines experimental and theoretical physics appropriately, without requiring more than elementary calculus (simple derivation and integration). Very recommendable if you want to start discovering the concepts of quantum mechanics and relativity.

Three last chapters are my favorite

Bahasanya lugas sehingga materi yang tersaji dalam buku ini mudah dipahami. Fisika Modern yang begitu abstrak menjadi sangat mudah dipahami dan terasa begitu nyata.

The print quality is poor, you can easily wipe out the ink from the page. But the content is very similar to the original book and it is very easy to read.
