A groundbreaking textbook on twenty-first-century waves of all
sorts and their applications Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford's
monumental Modern Classical Physics is now available in five
stand-alone volumes that make ideal textbooks for individual
graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on statistical physics;
optics; elasticity and fluid dynamics; plasma physics; and
relativity and cosmology. Each volume teaches the fundamental
concepts, emphasizes modern, real-world applications, and gives
students a physical and intuitive understanding of the subject.
Optics is an essential introduction to a resurgent subject.
"Optics" originally referred to the study of light, but today the
field encompasses all types of waves, including electromagnetic
waves, from gamma rays to radio waves; gravitational waves; waves
in solids, fluids, and plasmas; and quantum waves. The past few
decades have seen revolutions in optics-amazing advances in
nonlinear optics technology, a growing understanding of optical
phenomena throughout the natural world, and an increasing
appreciation of the wide-ranging applicability of optics' central
principles. Optics shows how and why this subject-which was once a
standard part of physics curricula-should again be routinely taught
to physics students, as well as to students in engineering,
computer science, and the natural sciences. Includes many exercise
problems Features color figures, suggestions for further reading,
extensive cross-references, and a detailed index Optional "Track 2"
sections make this an ideal book for a one-quarter, half-semester,
or full-semester course An online illustration package is available
to professors The five volumes, which are available individually as
paperbacks and ebooks, are Statistical Physics; Optics; Elasticity
and Fluid Dynamics; Plasma Physics; and Relativity and Cosmology.
