This text considers waves the great unifying concept of physics. With minimal mathematics, it emphasizes the behavior common to phenomena such as earthquake waves, ocean waves, sound waves, and mechanical waves. Topics include velocity, vector and complex representation, energy and momentum, coupled modes, polarization, diffraction, and radiation. 1974 edition. Reprint of The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1974 edition.
Physics of Waves by William C. Elmore, Mark A. Heald Ideal as a classroom text or for individual study, this unique one-volume overview of classical wave theory covers wave phenomena of acoustics, optics, electromagnetic radiations, and more.
Wave Mechanics (Vol. 5 of Pauli Lectures on Physics) by Wolfgang Pauli Focuses on wave functions of force-free particles, description of a particle in a box and in free space, particle in a field of force, multiple particles, eigenvalue problems, more.
