Textbook of Physics

TEXTBOOK OF PHYSICS provides a comprehensive discussion on oscillations, interference, diffraction and polarization of light waves. The text deals with introductory electromagnetism, Maxwell's electromagnetic equations and Poynting theorem and explains the principle and mechanism of laser and fibre optics. In addition, the book describes the fundamentals of quantum mechanics like 1D potential well, potential step and quantum mechanical tunneling. Coverage also includes thermodynamics and elastic properties of matter. Finally, it discusses crystallography, semiconductors and superconductivity. KEY FEATURES: * Fundamentals are presented in simple, precise and systematic manner for easier understanding. * Appropriate ray diagrams with proper labelling to disseminate the concepts clearly. * Each chapter ends with important formulae, solved examples and model questions. * Contains unsolved numerical problems with answers to strengthen the problem-solving ability.
