A Textbook of Engineering Physics (11th Edition)

Description

A Textbook of Engineering Physics has been written primarily for the first year undergraduate students of engineering and also those of bachelors in sciences while also serving as a reference text for technologies and practitioners.

The book explains all the relevant and important topics related to physics in an easy-to-understand manner. Fifty chapters, beginning with a detailed discussion on oscillation and waves, the book goes on to discuss semiconductors, optical fibres, lasers, nanotechnology and liquid crystals.

A book which has seen, foreseen and incorporated changes in the subject for more than 25 years, it continues to be one of the most sought after texts by the students.

Key Features

• 50 chapters ensure that every crucial concept is given due importance for this fundamental subject.
• More than 1200 examples and figures aid to the concepts explained.
• 2000+ chapter-end questions and problems enhance the practice quotient of the book.
