Mechanical and Electromagnetic Vibrations and Waves

Dealing with vibrations and waves, this text aims to provideunderstanding of the basic principles and methods of analysingvarious physical phenomena.The content includes the general properties of propagation, adetailed study of mechanical (elastic and acoustic) andelectromagnetic waves, propagation, attenuation, dispersion,reflection, interference and diffraction of waves. It features chapters on the effect of motion of sources andobservers (both classical and relativistic), emission ofelectromagnetic waves, standing and guided waves and a finalchapter on de Broglie waves constitutes an introduction to quantummechanics.
