The birth of a new physics: the electron electromagnetic waves the special theory of relativity the general theory of relativity. Quantum theory: the quantum hypothesis the photoelectric effect photons the mechanics of minute particles. The nuclear atom: the structure of the atom the Bohr Model of the atom the quantum mechanical model of the atom electron spin. Interactions of electromagnetic radiation and matter: the passage of radiation through matter molecular spectra fluorescence and phosphorescence. Nuclear physics: the structure of the nucleus nuclear radiations radioactivity nuclear reactions and nuclear energy. Selected applications: the laser the Mossbauer Effect nuclear magnetic resonance the conductivity of electricity through solids invariance, symmetry and conservation laws.

This is the second book in the 'Ask the Physicist' series. The first book, From Newton to Einstein: Ask the physicist about mechanics and relativity, provides an excellent foundation for this book that covers topics in 'modern' physics. The main emphasis of this volume is providing an accessible introduction to quantum physics, atomic physics, and nuclear physics to anyone with at least high-school physics knowledge.
