Book Descriptions:
"The material is superbly chosen and brilliantly written … the language is clear, direct and rigorous … a superb addition to the library of any physicist." — Physics Today.
This lucidly written text emphasizes optics and acoustics, with considerable emphasis placed on establishing a close connection between mathematical expressions and the associated physical ideas.
Beginning with an inductive derivation of the equation for transverse waves on a string, the student is led through successively more complex subjects as acoustic plane waves, boundary-value problems, polarization, optical anisotropy, interference, diffraction, dispersion, and three-dimensional waves.
Designed for a one-semester intermediate level undergraduate course (although there is easily enough material here for two semesters), Wave Phenomena is accessible to students with calculus up to the level of partial differentiations. Mathematical techniques, beyond the most elementary ones, are evolved, when needed, in the book itself. Moreover, the treatment is so thorough that students could work through the book themselves with minimal help from an instructor.
There are a large number of interesting, well-chosen problems at the end of each chapter (with solutions for about half of them), and several appendixes providing additional mathematical apparatus: the representation of sinusoidal functions by complex numbers, frequently used trigonometric identities, one-dimensional hydrodynamic equations in Eulerian form, and more.
Although geared to undergraduate physics majors, the comprehensiveness, rigor, and clarity of this text make it an ideal reference for almost any physicist in need of a review of optics or acoustics.
Wave Phenomena (Dover Books on Physics) by Dudley H. Towne, Physics
From reader reviews:Diana Sturgill:
Information is provisions for anyone to get better life, information today can get by anyone with everywhere. The information can be a know-how or any news even an issue. What people must be consider whenever those information which is within the former life are difficult to be find than now is taking seriously which one is appropriate to believe or which one the resource are convinced. If you find the unstable resource then you have it as your main information you will have huge disadvantage for you. All of those possibilities will not happen within you if you take Wave Phenomena (Dover Books on Physics) as the daily resource information.
