Oscillations and Waves by IIT Kharagpur
The
book is targeted at the first year undergraduate science and engineering
students. Starting with oscillations in general, the book moves to interference
and diffraction phenomena of waves and concludes with elementary applications of Schr¨odinger’s wave equation in quantum mechanics. Topics covered includes:
Oscillations, The Damped Oscillator, Oscillator with external forcing,
Resonance, Coupled Oscillators, Sinusoidal Waves, Electromagnetic Waves, The
Spectrum of Electromagnetic Radiation, Interference, Coherence, X-ray
Diffraction, Polarization, Wave-particle duality and Quantum Mechanics.
