Modern Physics - Full Lecture Course
Embark on a comprehensive 11-hour 57-minute lecture course exploring the fascinating world of modern physics. Delve into the fundamental concepts that revolutionized our understanding of the universe in the early 20th century and beyond. Cover a wide range of topics, including special and general relativity, quantum physics, and their applications. Begin with a review of introductory physics before diving into the basics of special relativity, Lorentz transformations, and their experimental verifications. Explore relativistic phenomena such as the Doppler effect and velocity addition. Examine the concepts of momentum and mass in special relativity before transitioning to the general theory of relativity. Investigate quantum mechanics through discussions on blackbody radiation, the photoelectric effect, X-rays, and Compton scattering. Conclude by studying matter waves, the Schrödinger equation, and the Bohr model of the atom. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles that shape our modern view of the physical world.
