This Book Is Based On The Common Core Syllabus Of Up Technical University. It Explains, In A Simple And Systematic Manner, The Basic Principles And Applications Of Engineering Physics. After Explaining The Special Theory Of Relativity, The Book Presents A Detailed Analysis Of Optics.Scalar And Vector Fields Are Explained Next, Followed By Electrostatics. Magnetic Properties Of Materials Are Then Described. The Basic Concepts And Applications Of X-Rays Are Highlighted Next. Quantum Theory Is Then Explained, Followed By A Lucid Account Of Lasers. After Explaining The Basic Theory, The Book Presents A Series Of Interesting Experiments To Enable The Students To Acquire A Practical Knowledge Of The Subject.A Large Number Of Questions And Model Test Papers Have Also Been Added. Different Chapters Have Been Revised And More Numerical Problems As Per Requirement Have Been Added. The Book Would Serve As An Excellent Text For First Year Engineering Students. Diploma Students Would Also Find It Extremely Useful.

Engineering Physics is primarily designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of engineering. It will also serve as a reference book for undergraduate science (B Sc) students, scientists, technologists, and practitioners of various branches of engineering. The book thoroughlyexplains all relevant and important topics in an easy-to-understand manner.Beginning with a detailed discussion on optics, the book goes on to discuss waves and oscillations, architectural acoustics, and ultrasonics in Part I. The basic principles of classical mechanics, relativistic mechanics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics are included under Part II.Electromagnetism-related topics, namely dielectric properties, magnetic properties, and electromagnetic field theory are explained under Part III. Part IV provides an in-depth treatment of topics such as X-rays, crystal physics, band theory of solids, and semiconductor physics. It also coversconducting and superconducting materials. Topics such as nuclear physics, radioactivity, and new engineering materials and nanotechnology are presented in the last section of the book. The text also contains useful appendices on SI units, important physical and lattice constants, periodic table, andproperties of semiconductors and relevant compounds for ready reference.Plenty of solved examples, well-labelled illustrations and chapter-end exercises are provided in every chapter for better understanding of the concepts and their applications.
