The book describes the features that vibrations and waves of all sorts have in common and includes examples of mechanical, acoustical, and optical manifestations of these phenomena that unite various parts of physics. It is the culmination of successful editions of class notes and preliminary texts prepared for their one-semester course at MIT designed for sophomores majoring in physics but taken by students from other departments as well. The main emphasis, however, is on the oscillatory aspects of the electromagnetic field-that is, on the vibrations, waves, radiation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter.This text was developed over a five-year period during which its authors were teaching the subject. ![]() ![]() ![]()
