About the Book
Atomic and Nuclear Physics: An Introduction in S.I. Units provides a foundational approach to understanding the physics of atoms and nuclei, offering essential concepts and theories that are critical for students in both pure and applied science. The book is designed to be accessible to a wide range of students, including those in high school, undergraduate courses, and those pursuing honours in physics or related disciplines.
This book is particularly beneficial for students in electrical and mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and those studying applied sciences. It serves as an introduction to atomic physics and nuclear physics, explaining key concepts such as atomic structure, nuclear reactions, and the behaviour of subatomic particles, using the internationally accepted S.I. units.
The text is designed in a way that makes it accessible to beginners while also being comprehensive enough for advanced students. Chapters on unstable particles and atomic mass units (using carbon-12 instead of oxygen-16) are included, along with worked-out examples and additional problems at the end of each chapter to reinforce key concepts.
Special attention is given to the S.I. units, in accordance with international standards, making the book useful for students familiar with older c.g.s. units, and those preparing for high school or university-level exams. The book encourages confidence in students by providing practical, real-life examples and problems that relate to the orders of magnitude in atomic and nuclear physics.
