This fourth volume of a four-volume textbook covers the
oscillations of systems with one or more degrees of freedom; the
concept of waves, focusing on light and sound; phase and group
velocities, their physical meaning, and their measurement;
diffraction and interference of light; polarization phenomena; and
the formation of images in the eye and in optical instruments. The
textbook as a whole covers electromagnetism, mechanics, fluids and
thermodynamics, and waves and light, and is designed to reflect the
typical syllabus during the first two years of a calculus-based
university physics program. Throughout all four volumes, particular
attention is paid to in-depth clarification of conceptual aspects,
and to this end the historical roots of the principal concepts are
traced. Emphasis is also consistently placed on the experimental
basis of the concepts, highlighting the experimental nature of
physics. Whenever feasible at the elementary level, concepts
relevant to more advanced courses in quantum mechanics and atomic,
solid state, nuclear, and particle physics are included. The
textbook offers an ideal resource for physics students, lecturers
and, last but not least, all those seeking a deeper understanding
of the experimental basics of physics.
