Oscillations and Waves

Waves and Oscillations by Matthew Jones

This note explains the physics of waves and oscillations including sound, elastic and electromagnetic waves. Topics covered includes: the theory of simple harmonic oscillators, transverse modes of a continuous string, and physical optics including interference, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, and resolution, to diffraction of X-rays and electrons by crystals.

Oscillations and Waves

The aim of this textbook is to develop a unified mathematical theory of oscillations and waves. Examples are drawn from the physics of discrete mechanical systems; continuous gases, fluids, and elastic solids; electronic circuits; electromagnetic waves; optical systems; and, finally, quantum mechanical systems.
