Description
Foundations of Physics for Chemists is an essential guide to the fundamental physics required for understanding a wide range of chemical phenomena and techniques.
The text begins by discussing classical and wave mechanics, introducing quantum mechanics at an early stage. It then develops these ideas to cover traditional physics topics such as kinetic theory, electrostatics, magnetism, and optics, with a focus on relevant chemical examples.
Students will find the information presented directly applicable to their undergraduate chemistry course, making this book a valuable resource for those studying chemistry at university.
