About The Book:

This Indian adaptation of Modern Physics by Kenneth S. Krane, based on the fourth edition, has been thoroughly updated and restructured to cater to the needs of Indian university students. The adaptation includes the addition of new topics and a revision of existing concepts to make the textbook more suitable for Indian curricula.

A key update in this edition is the section on the Schrödinger equation, now presented with a more mathematically rigorous treatment. The treatment of the Hydrogen Atom wave functions has also been expanded, offering detailed solutions for both the radial and angular parts of the Schrödinger equation through newly introduced solved examples. Furthermore, the chapter on Solid State Physics now includes a more extensive discussion on crystal structures and lattice vibrations, further enriching the student's understanding of condensed matter physics.

This edition is an invaluable resource for students studying modern physics, providing a balance of theoretical depth and practical problem-solving techniques. With its thorough explanations and updated content, it serves as a reliable guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of physics.
