A Textbook of Engineering Physics (11th Edition)

DescriptionA Textbook of Engineering Physics has been written primarily for the first year undergraduate students of engineering and also those of bachelors in sciences while also serving as a reference text for technologies and practitioners.The book explains all the relevant and important topics related to physics in an easy-to-understand manner. Fifty chapters, beginning with a detailed discussion on oscillation and waves, the book goes on to discuss semiconductors, optical fibres, lasers, nanotechnology and liquid crystals.A book which has seen, foreseen and incorporated changes in the subject for more than 25 years, it continues to be one of the most sought after texts by the students.Key Features50 chapters ensure that every crucial concept is given due importance for this fundamental subject.More than 1200 examples and figures aid to the concepts explained.2000 chapter-end questions and problems enhance the practice quotient of the book.Table of ContentsOscillations and WavesMechanical Properties of SolidsLightGeometrical OpticsElectrostaticsMagnetostatics and ElectrodynamicsElectromagnetic WavesInterferenceDiffractionPolarizationDouble Refraction and Optical ActivityArtificial Double RefractionArchitectural AcousticsUltrasonicsNon-Destructive TestingHeat TransferElements of ThermodynamicsVacuum TechnologyElectron EmissionElectron BallisticsElectron OpticsThermoelectricitySpecial Theory of RelativityQuantum HypothesisAtomic PhysicsMatter WavesQuantum MechanicsAtomic Nucleus and Nuclear EnergyNuclear InstrumentsCosmic Rays and Elementary ParticlesQuantum StatisticsBonding in SolidsCrystal Growth and Crystal DefectsCrystal StructureConductorsBand Theory of SolidsSemiconductorsSolid Stage DiodesBipolar Junction TransistorDielectric MaterialsMagnetic MaterialsSuperconductorsMasersLasersNon-Linear OpticsHolographyOptical FibresModern Engineering MaterialsNanotechnologyLiquid Crystals
