Modern Physics by Kiruthiga Sivaprasath
Book Summary:
The purpose of this book is to give an introductory account of the basic principles of atomic, nuclear, and solid-state physics. It is meant to serve as a textbook for the B.Sc. Physics students of Indian Universities. The SI system of units has been used throughout the text. Great care has been taken in dealing with the subject with a modern outlook. A large number of questions and problems have been given at the end of each chapter.
The audience of the Book :
This book is useful for B.Sc. Physics students.
