Modern physics

Introduction 

Physics is a natural science that uses experiments, measurements, and math to learn about the world around us. Its goal is to figure out the quantitative physical laws that apply to everything from the Nanoworld to the stars. Physics is a branch of science that deals with how matter and energy work together. There are two main types of Physics. These are two types of physics: Classical Physics and Modern Physics.

Modern physics

Post-Newtonian ideas are the focus of modern physics, which is a branch of physics that deals with these new ideas. A big part of what it is about is based on two big things that happened in the last century. In this class, we will learn about Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Modern physics is mostly about giving a better description of nature through theories that aren’t the same as the ones in classical physics. These are based on quantum mechanics and Einsteinian relativity, so they have these things in them. It is said that Albert Einstein is the father of modern physics.

Topics we study in modern physics

Early in the 20th century, a lot of important things happened. Some of the things we’re going to talk about are relativity and quantum mechanics. Newton’s laws, Maxwell’s equations, and thermodynamics are some of the things that were already known before this type of physics. In modern physics, we’re learning about what physics is all about and where it’s going in the future. A lot of attention is being paid to quantum mechanics and how it can be used in things like atomic, nuclear, particle, and condensed matter physics. Most of it is about special relativity, relativistic quantum mechanics, the Dirac equation and Feynman diagrams, quantum fields with general relativity, and so on. These are the main goals of modern physics, and they are to cover them in enough depth.

Atomic theory and atomic model

atomic theory, ancient philosophical speculation that all things can be explained by an infinite number of combinations of hard, small, indivisible particles (called atoms) of varying sizes but made of the same basic material; or modern scientific theory of matter in which the chemical elements that combine to form the vast variety of substances are composed of aggregations of similar subunits (atoms) with nuclear and electron substructures.

Black-body radiation

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by all objects in proportion to their temperature. Colder objects emit very low-frequency electromagnetic waves (such as radio or microwaves), whereas warmer objects emit visible light or even ultraviolet and higher-frequency electromagnetic waves. The term “blackbody radiation” refers to the link between the temperature of an object and the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation it emits. A black body is a hypothetical object that absorbs all electromagnetic energy with which it comes into contact. Then, depending on its temperature, it emits thermal radiation in a continuous spectrum.

Photoelectric effect

Electrons can be released from the surface of a metal when light shines on it, a phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect. This is also known as photoemission, and the electrons released from the metal are referred to as photoelectrons. Photoelectrons behave and possess the same properties as other electrons. The prefix photo- merely indicates that electrons were emitted from a metal surface as a result of incoming light.

Quantum thermodynamics

The concept of equilibrium states is central to thermodynamics. However, it is less obvious how equilibrium thermodynamics develops from quantum mechanical dynamics. We construct a quantum thermodynamics theory in this work that is applicable to arbitrary tiny systems, including single-particle systems connected to a reservoir. We generalize the temperature concept beyond equilibrium, which is dependent on the detailed dynamics of quantum states.

Geiger–Marsden experiment i.e. Rutherford’s experiment

The Geiger–Marsden tests were a seminal sequence of experiments that demonstrated that every atom has a nucleus, which contains all of its positive charge and the majority of its mass. They concluded this by observing the scattering of an alpha particle beam as it collides with a thin metal foil.

Thermodynamics- Heat and temperature

Whether it’s hot or cold is important to each of us every day. Our morning clothes depend on the weather, and most of the energy we use comes from the Sun. Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with how heat and temperature work together to make things move. There are rules that control how energy moves around the world. People in all fields of science and engineering are interested in them. They are studied from chemistry to biology to environmental science.

Vibrations and Waves Phenomena

Vibrations and waves are very important in physics. When you look at the world, you’ll see a lot of oscillations. Every physical system has vibrations, from the jiggling of atoms to the big waves of the sea. We can see them in almost every system.

Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum mechanics is one of the most important theories in physics. It describes the physical properties of the world at the level of atoms and subatomic particles. It is the foundation of all quantum physics, including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science. It is also the starting point for all quantum physics.
