This course on modern physics aims to help learners understand the underlying processes of interactions with matter using the tools of science and engineering. The course covers topics such as introductory physics, special relativity, general relativity, the behavior of matter as waves, and the atomic structure according to the Bohr model. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of key concepts in modern physics. The teaching method involves lecture-style presentations, and the course is suitable for individuals interested in deepening their knowledge of physics beyond the introductory level.
