Features: Most of the exercises in this book are not virtual problems designed specifically to train students' problem-solving skills, but rather real problems extracted from the research work of physicists. They mostly require calculating specific numerical values that can be compared with experiments. Doing such problems can give you a sense and experience of doing research work. The author of this book has also written another book, "Learning Modern Physics Through Problem Solving," which serves as a sister volume and supplementary textbook to this book, providing detailed solutions to all the exercises in this book. This "Learning Modern Physics Through Problem Solving" is not just a collection of solutions, but also combines specific problems to explain modern physics in the process of detailed problem-solving. It includes insightful analyses and profound comments, reflecting the humanistic side of the development of modern physics. This book has a low starting point but offers in-depth discussions, concise narration, and a wealth of information. The target readers are lower-division university students and general readers interested in fundamental issues of modern physics such as relativity and quantum mechanics. It can be used as a textbook or teaching reference for related courses in modern physics, quantum physics, atomic physics, and other foundational subjects in science and engineering universities and normal universities.
