- Summary:
- Grometstein explains modem physics with enthusiasm, wit and insight. As he presents the usual milestones in the history of modem physics, his central focus is the historical debate regarding the nature of light: is it a particle or is it a wave? This book will be read by generations of students in physical science who seek a well written discussion of these important issues. Grometstein includes material which is quite recent, thus making the present volume particularly useful.
