Books for Specific topics
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2007 10:03 pm
First time posting here, but seeing all the good advice here, i might as well give this a shot.
There are a couple of broad topics on the GRE which I am not very familiar with and need to learn and practice.
Atomic Physics: (eg selection rules, black body radiation, xrays, etc.)
Speacial Topics: (eg: Nuclear/particle physics, radioactive decay, fission/fusion, condensed matter, astrophyisics)
Though i have studied topics which definitely have overlap with the ones above, its obviously not enough for the GRE. I was wondering if anyone knew of any textbooks (modern would be helpful) and practice problem sets that cover any of the topics mentioned above.
I am thinking about picking up some basic books on atomic physics and particle physics and i have a condensed matter course this coming semester, but any links for books/info on (say basic astrophysics like resolving stars, etc) above topics would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
