This book offers a sensible introduction to both macroscopic and microscopic physics. Written at the senior undergraduate and first year graduate levels, it bridges the gap between the mainly descriptive treatment of most introductory tests and the highly theoretical accounts found in more specialized monographs.The authors present a concise, condensed sequence of physical principles that link macroscopic mechanical, thermal, and electrical phenomena to their microscopic quantum origin, statistical description, and atomic structure. They apply a rigorous treatment to each topic, starting from first principles and deriving the basic laws and significant consequences. They provide solid coverage of the subject matter using simple models, yet still allowing contact with the behavior of real phenomena, real substances, and aspects of present-day research. Each chapter contains several examples, Applications sections illustrate the core topics, and Notes sections address more advanced, specialist topics.
Basic concepts of momentum, energy and angular momentum; special relativity; continuum limit of mechanics; thermodynamics and their applications to continuum systems; electromagnetism, Maxwell's wquations and the properties of electromagnetic waves; concepts and techniques concerning waves; electromagnetic waves and optical phenomena in anisotropic media; macroscopic phenomena and the need for a microscopic description; statistical mechanics and thermodynamics; thermal radiation and wave particle duality; postulates of quantum mechanics; orbital angular momentum and one electron atoms; Schrodinger picture; the spinning electron in the matrix formalism; multielectron atoms as systems of identical particles; semi-classical theory of radiation; systems of atoms and the crystal lattice; the problems of solid state physics; nuclear structure and dynamics.
