Physics – Oscillation, Waves, Optics, and Quantum Mechanics | First Edition | By Pearson (Paperback)  | Released: 28-Jun-19

This book is designed as per the recommended syllabus of AICTE for the Physics courses: oscillation, waves and Optics and quantum mechanics. The book explains the simple Harmonic Motion with a number of examples of Mechanical and Electrical oscillators, non-dispersiv transverse and longitudinal waves followed by an introduction to dispersion. As the book advances, it describes the propagation of light, Geometrical Optics, the phenomena of interference and Diffraction, followed by lasers and their latest applications. Coverage also includes an introduction to quantum mechanics, solution of wave equation and introduction to solids and semiconductors. Features: written in a simple language to ease self-study by students. Numerous worked out examples interspersed in the text, which are class-tested, to help students comprehend key concepts. With applications of computing and analysing tool like Python. Excellent pedagogy includes: - 120 Solved examples - 175 Theory questions - 130 Numerical problems - 225 multiple choice questions br>Table of Contents: br>Chapter 1: simple Harmonic Motion br>Chapter 2: non-dispersive transverse and longitudinal waves br>Chapter 3: dispersion br>Chapter 4: Geometrical Optics and propagation of light br>Chapter 5: wave Optics: interference br>Chapter 6: wave Optics: Diffraction br>Chapter 7: lasers br>Chapter 8: Introduction to quantum mechanics br>Chapter 9: solution of wave equation br>Chapter 10: Introduction to solids and semiconductors.
