This document features 50 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) with verified correct answers for Physics 1260 Exam 4 (2025/2026). It provides detailed coverage of critical modern physics concepts such as wave-particle duality, quantum mechanics, electron diffraction, atomic structure, nuclear forces, and radioactivity, along with special relativity (including time dilation, length contraction, and mass-energy equivalence). Core principles like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, E = mc², and de Broglie wavelengths are tested with concise, exam-style questions. This resource is ideal for students enrolled in introductory university physics courses or degree programs in physics, engineering, nuclear science, astronomy, or pre-med, where modern physics and relativity are part of the curriculum. It is also a valuable study guide for advanced high school students in AP or IB Physics who are preparing for college-level assessments. Each question in this collection strengthens conceptual understanding and reinforces key topics likely to appear in exams. Keywords: quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, E=mc², de Broglie wavelength, special relativity, time dilation, length contraction, nuclear force, strong nuclear force, radioactive decay, half-life, electron interference, atomic structure, photoelectric effect, superposition, alpha particles, beta decay, gamma radiation
