Description
Introduction to the Physics of Waves by Tim Freegarde provides a clear and approachable introduction to the physics of waves. The author explores how wave phenomena can be observed in various physical situations, linking their characteristics to specific physical rules. The book draws on everyday applications of wave phenomena, ranging from electromagnetism to oceanography, to engage students and connect core theory with practice. Mathematical derivations are kept brief, while textual commentary offers a non-mathematical perspective. Optional sections provide additional examples and higher-level analyses for those who want to delve deeper. Suitable for first- and second-year undergraduate students in the physical sciences, this textbook introduces wave phenomena in a refreshingly approachable way.
