by Tamer Bécherrawy (Author)
Dealing with vibrations and waves,
this text aims to provide understanding of the basic principles and
methods of analysing various physical phenomena.
The content
includes the general properties of propagation, a detailed study of
mechanical (elastic and acoustic) and electromagnetic waves,
propagation, attenuation, dispersion, reflection, interference and
diffraction of waves.
It features chapters on the effect of
motion of sources and observers (both classical and relativistic),
emission of electromagnetic waves, standing and guided waves and a final
chapter on de Broglie waves constitutes an introduction to quantum
mechanics.
