UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS A COUR...

This fourth volume of a four-volume textbook covers the oscillations of systems with one or
more degrees of freedom  the concept of waves  focusing on light and sound  phase and group
velocities  their physical meaning  and their measurement  diffraction and interference of
light  polarization phenomena  and the formation of images in the eye and in optical
instruments. The textbook as a whole covers electromagnetism  mechanics  fluids and
thermodynamics  and waves and light  and is designed to reflect the typical syllabus during the
first two years of a calculus-based university physics program. Throughout all four volumes 
particular attention is paid to in-depth clarification of conceptual aspects  and to this end
the historical roots of the principal concepts are traced. Emphasis is also consistently placed
on the experimental basis of the concepts  highlighting the experimental nature of physics.
Whenever feasible at the elementary level  concepts relevant to more advanced courses in
quantum mechanics and atomic  solid state  nuclear  and particle physics are included. The
textbook offers an ideal resource for physics students  lecturers and  last but not least  all
those seeking a deeper understanding of the experimental basics of physics.
