Waves and oscillations are found in large scales (galactic) and
microscopic scales (neutrino) in nature. Their dynamics and
behavior heavily depend on the type of medium through which they
propagate. Waves and Oscillations in Nature: An Introduction
clearly elucidates the dynamics and behavior of waves and
oscillations in various mediums. It presents different types of
waves and oscillations that can be observed and studied from
macroscopic to microscopic scales. The book provides a thorough
introduction for researchers and graduate students in assorted
areas of physics, such as fluid dynamics, plasma physics, optics,
and astrophysics. The authors first explain introductory aspects of
waves and electromagnetism, including characteristics of waves, the
basics of electrostatics and magnetostatics, and Maxwell's
equations. They then explore waves in a uniform media, waves and
oscillations in hydrodynamics, and waves in a magnetized medium for
homogeneous and nonhomogeneous media. The book also describes types
of shock waves, such as normal and oblique shocks, and discusses
important details pertaining to waves in optics, including
polarization from experimental and observational points of view.
The book concludes with a focus on plasmas, covering different
plasma parameters, quasilinear and nonlinear aspects of plasma
waves, and various instabilities in hydrodynamics and plasmas.
