The Book of Physics . Wave and quantum optics . Atomic and Nuclear Physics, created by the team of authors, is a fascinating and deep dive into the world of physics, which covers two key sections: wave and quantum optics, as well as atomic and nuclear physics. This edition will be a real discovery for both students and anyone interested in the basics of physics and its practical applications. From the first pages, the reader plunges into the exciting world of physical phenomena that surround us everywhere. The book begins with the basics of wave optics, where the authors explain in detail how light behaves like a wave, and what amazing effects arise when light interacts with various materials. The reader learns about the diffraction, interference and polarization of light, which makes the material accessible and understandable even to those who do not have deep knowledge in this area. Further, in the section devoted to quantum optics, the authors introduce us to the concepts that turned the ideas about physics in the 20th century. Topics such as quantum states of light, photonic technologies and their application in modern devices are considered here. The reader will be able to understand how quantum mechanics explains particle behavior at a microscopic level, and what practical implications this has for technologies such as lasers and quantum computers. Atomic and nuclear physics, in turn, reveals to the reader the secrets of the structure of the atom and the interaction of nuclei. The authors explain how atomic structures affect chemical reactions and what processes occur in the nucleus of an atom. This part of the book will be especially interesting for those who want to learn more about nuclear energy, radiation and their applications in medicine and energy. The reader will be able to assess how this knowledge affects our lives and environment. The book is written in an accessible language, which makes it ideal for students, teachers and anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in the field of physics. It is suitable for both high school students preparing for exams, and for university students studying physics at a deeper level. It will also be of interest to science lovers who want to understand how the world works at the most fundamental level. The topics raised in the book concern not only the theoretical aspects of physics, but also its practical application. The authors highlight the importance of physics in today's world, from the technologies we use every day to global challenges such as climate change and energy crises. The book inspires us to think about how science can help solve these problems and how important it is to understand the physical laws that govern our reality. The style of the authors is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which allows the reader to easily assimilate even the most complex concepts. This makes the book not only a textbook, but also a real guide to the world of physics. The team of authors includes experienced teachers and researchers, which adds authority and depth to the book. If you are looking for a book that will help you understand the basics of physics and open up new horizons for you in the study of science, Wave and quantum optics . Nuclear and Nuclear Physics" will be an excellent choice. It will not only enrich your knowledge, but also inspire further research in this exciting field.
