This book is designed as per the recommended syllabus of AICTE for the Physics courses:Oscillation, Waves and Optics and Quantum Mechanics. The book explains the simple harmonic motion with a number of examples of mechanical and electrical oscillators, non-dispersiv transverse and longitudinal waves followed by an introduction to dispersion. As the book advances, it describes the propagation of light, geometrical optics, the phenomena of interference and diffraction, followed by lasers and their latest applications. Coverage also includes an introduction to quantum mechanics, solution of wave equation and introduction to solids and semiconductors.Features:• Written in a simple language to ease self-study by students. • Numerous worked out examples interspersed in the text, which are class-tested, to helpstudents comprehend key concepts.• With applications of computing and analyzing tool like PYTHON.• Excellent Pedagogy Includes: - 120 Solved Examples - 175 Theory Questions - 130 Numerical Problems - 225 Multiple Choice QuestionsTable of Contents:Chapter 1: Simple Harmonic MotionChapter 2: Non-dispersive Transverse and Longitudinal WavesChapter 3: DispersionChapter 4: Geometrical Optics and Propagation of Light Chapter 5: Wave Optics: InterferenceChapter 6: Wave Optics: DiffractionChapter 7: LasersChapter 8: Introduction to Quantum MechanicsChapter 9: Solution of Wave EquationChapter 10: Introduction to Solids and Semiconductors
