"This book is specifically written to address the requirements of the course curriculum in Engineering Physics for the first-year students of all branches of engineering. It presents the basic principles of physics and their applications in the field of engineering.

The book exposes the students to fundamental knowledge in

Ultrasonics, their properties and applications in engineering and medical fields

Main components of lasers, types of lasers and their applications

Types of fibre optics, structure and basic operation of fibre optic systems, their applications in communications and endoscopy

Black body radiations, Planck’s quantum theory, Compton effect and Schrödinger wave equation

Crystal system, Bravais space lattice, Miller indices, structure of crystals and their defects

The book also includes thirteen laboratory experiments with step-by-step procedures for performing them."
