Problems in General Physics

Contents: 1. Physical fundamentals of mechanics. 2. Thermodynamics and molecular physics. 3. Electrodynamics. 4. Oscillations and waves. 5. Optics. 6. Atomic and nuclear physics.

The book is intended for college undergraduates majoring in physics. This book contains about 2000 problems covering the major areas of physical science: mechanics, thermodynamics, molecular physics, electrodynamics, oscillations and waves, optics, atomic and nuclear physics. Each section is preceded by a short summary of appropriate formulas whose total number exceeds 300. Answers to all problems are given at the end of the volume. The most difficult problems are provided with explanations. Moreover, the author presents some general hints helping the undergraduate to tackle the physical problems.

Problems in General Physics is an excellent book which may serve as a valuable supplement to any college course on the subject.
