The subject matter is divided into twelve chapters. Each chapter is self-contained and is treated in a comprehensive way, using the S.I. system of units. Harmonic Oscillators, Linearity and Superposition Principle, Oscillations with One Degree of Freedom, Resonance and Sharpness of Resonance, Quality Factor, Doppler Effect in Sound and Light, Medical Applications of Ultrasonics, Acoustic Intensity, Acoustic Measurements, Wave Velocity and Group Velocity, Maxwell's Equations, Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves in Isotropic Media, De Broglie Waves, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Special Theory of Relatively are some of the important topics which have been given special attention. Solved numerical problems, wherever necessary, are given in the text and in the exercises at the end of each chapter. The book is intended to be a textbook for the undergraduate students of Indian universities.
