Traditional physics are more commonly called "Classical Physics" and it was created by the old giants of physicists like Newton and Galileo.
Modern physics are the newer study of physics that was created by folk like Einstein and Schrodinger.
The main difference is that classical physics deals in things that are relatively and easily handled by human size in terms of observation, forces and speeds. Things like the motion of baseballs, cars and planets.
Modern physics deal in things that are small or fast. Time dilation due to traveling near the speed of light falls under modern physics as does the world of subatomic particles. The nature of electromagnetic radiation roughly follows the same wave math involved in classical physics, however, things get deeper when we begin to discuss the wave-particle duality of matter and light so it is more modern physics.

What is modern physics?
Physics is the science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two, grouped in traditional fields such as acoustics, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, as well as in modern extensions including atomic and nuclear physics, cryogenics, solid-state physics, particle physics, and plasma physics

What do you mean by modren physics?
Typically, there are considered two forms of physics. Newtonian and modern. Newtonian relates to Newton-era mechanics and E&M. Modern physics loosely refers to post-newton physics. Modern physics primarily refers to 20th century physics as it incorporates relativity and quantum theory.
