Modern Physics Syllabus and Reference Book for each chapter (For IIT-JAM Preparation)

 1st Chapter : (Relativity)

Inertial frames and Galilean invariance. Postulates of special relativity. Lorentz transformations. Length contraction, time dilation. Relativistic velocity addition theorem, mass energy equivalence. 

Reference Book: Concepts of  Modern Physics by Arthur Beiser is best book for relativity portion. You can by the book at https://www.amazon.in/Concepts-Modern-Physics-Special-Indian/dp/0070151555 or you can download the softcopy at https://b-ok.asia/book/702992/44f4b3.

2nd Chapter : (Wave Particle Duality) 

Blackbody radiation, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, Bohr’s atomic model, X-rays. Wave-particle duality, Uncertainty principle.

Reference Book: Concepts of  Modern Physics by Arthur Beiser is also good for wave particle duality portion. You can by the book at https://www.amazon.in/Concepts-Modern-Physics-Special-Indian/dp/0070151555 or you can download the softcopy at https://b-ok.asia/book/702992/44f4b3.


3rd Chapter: ( Quantum Mechanics)

The superposition principle, calculation of expectation values, Schrödinger equation and its solution for one, two and three dimensional boxes. Solution of Schrödinger equation for the one dimensional harmonic oscillator. Reflection and transmission at a step potential, Pauli exclusion principle. 

Reference Book:  For Quantum Mechnaics portion Quantum Mechanics by H C Verma, and Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications  by Nouredine Zettili. You can by the book from https://www.amazon.in/Quantum-Physics-VERMA-IIT-Kanpur/dp/8192571408 and https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07D2BZK73/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 or download the soft copy from https://b-ok.asia/book/541544/16eef6.

4th Chapter: (Nuclear Physics)

Structure of atomic nucleus, mass and binding energy. Radioactivity and its applications. Laws of radioactive decay.

Reference Book: Again for the nuclear physics portion  Concepts of  Modern Physics by Arthur Beiser is  good enough. You can by the book at https://www.amazon.in/Concepts-Modern-Physics-Special-Indian/dp/0070151555 or you can download the softcopy at https://b-ok.asia/book/702992/44f4b3.
