WAVES AND OPTICS

The revision of Physics syllabi for B.Sc.(Hons.) and B.Sc. (General) at Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, effective from the 2024-25 academic session under the National Education Policy, necessitated an updation and revision in Waves and Optics books. It is a great privilege for the authors to present this book for Bachelor of Physical Sciences students in their fourth semester. Though book has been written strictly in alignment with the revised syllabus, yet some relevant topics have been added for the sake of understanding and conceptual continuity of the subject. Notably, modern topics such as coherence and holography have also been explored. Some of the salient features of the book are: 1. In each chapter a number of solved numerical problems have been given. 2. Number of short questions with answers are given. 3. Selective long questions and unsolved numerical problems are provided at the end of each chapter.
