Modern Physics

Every physical system can be characterized by its size and length of time it taken for processes occurring within it to evolve. This is as true of the electrons circulating about the nucleus of an atom as it is of a chain of mountains rising up over the ages.

What is Modern Physics?

Modern physics is a rich field including decisive experiments conducted in the early part of the twentieth century and most recent research that has given us a deeper understanding of fundamental process in nature. In conjunction with our growing understanding of the physical world, a burgeoning technology has led to the development of lasers, solid state devices, and many other innovations. This  section will give more idea about modern physics.

Father of Modern Physics

Modern physics is basically the concepts of physics existing after Newton. The classical physics was not enough to solve and explain the existing problems and hence modern physics came into existence. Speed of light is considered here. Albert Einstein is called the father of modern physics. He was the one who came up with most of the concepts of modern physics. For example the theory of relativity was given by him. He also formulated the Einstein’s equation,

$E$ = $mc^{2}$

His contribution to theoretical physics was significant enough to award him with Nobel Prize. So he is rightly justified as the father of modern physics.
