SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resources for a Modern Physics class covering topics such as the Rutherford-Bohr atom, quantum mechanics, atomic, nuclear, and solid-state physics. Recommended online resources include Hyperphysics, specifically its sections on Quantum Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Condensed Matter. Additionally, modern physics lectures available on iTunesU are suggested for supplementary learning. It is advised to obtain the course textbook in advance for better preparation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of PHYS-200, PHYS-205, or PHYS-210 concepts
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics terminology
  • Basic knowledge of atomic and nuclear physics
  • Awareness of solid-state physics principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Hyperphysics Quantum Physics section
  • Review Hyperphysics Nuclear Physics section
  • Investigate Hyperphysics Condensed Matter section
  • Watch modern physics lectures on iTunesU
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in Modern Physics courses, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of quantum mechanics and related fields.

Here's the description of a class I'm taking next semester:

Electrons, protons, and structure of matter: a historic view. The Rutherford-Bohr atom and elements of quantum mechanics and their applications to atomic, nuclear, and solid state physics. Usually offered every spring. Prerequisite: PHYS-200, PHYS-205, or PHYS-210, or permission of instructor.

Try Hyperphysics, in particular the Quantum Physics, Nuclear Physics and Condensed Matter sections.
 
Your course sounds a lot like these modern physics lectures on iTunesU

(covering introductory relativity, QM, and nuclear physics).

You may be able to prepare by listening/watching some of those. Getting the text that you'll use for your course is probably worthwhile if you haven't done so already.
