{"product_id":"the-physics-of-vibrations-and-waves","title":"The Physics of Vibrations and Waves","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe main theme of this highly successful book is that the transmission of energy by wave propogation is fundamental to almost every branch of physics. Therefore  besides giving students a thorough grounding in the theory of waves and vibrations  the book also demonstrates the pattern and unity of a large part of physics. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and has been redeisgned to meet the best contemporary standards. It includes new material on electron waves in solids using the Kronig-Penney model to show how their allowed energies are limited to Brillouin zones  The role of phonons is also discussed. An Optical Transform is used to demonstrate the modern method of lens testing. In the last two chapters the sections on chaos and solitons have been reduced but their essential contents remain. As with earlier editions  the book has a large number of problems together with hints on how to solve them. The Physics of Vibrations and Waves  6th Edition will prove invaluable for students taking a first full course in the subject across a variety of disciplines particularly physics  engineering and mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959837814837,"sku":"ByrdShop_047001296X","price":81.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780470012963.jpg?v=1770375619","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-physics-of-vibrations-and-waves","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
