Sound and Wave Motion Calculations: A Physics Book for High Schools and Colleges

This book is suitable for students in high schools and colleges. It will also serve as a useful tool for students who are preparing for entrance examinations into colleges and universities. In this book you will find great and useful formulas and many worked examples under waves and sounds in physics. Each worked example has been well simplified in details to enhance a very clear understanding of calculations in this branch of physics. Numerous exercises at the end of each chapter are given to test students' understanding of the topic. A major objective of the author is to adequately prepare students by ensuring that the book arouse and sustain their interest in physics. This is done by illustrating how typical and complex numerical problems are solved. In this book, you will learn: General equation of waves Graphical and mathematical representation of waves Echoes Beat Vibration of air columns in open and closed pipes Modes of vibration of a stretched string The pitch as a characteristic of sound Doppler effects in sound.These contents are organized such that the explanation flows in a logical and intelligible manner. Hence, this book will make the study of physics a truly enjoyable intellectual pursuit. A constructive review of this textbook will be highly appreciated from buyers so as to give ideas to others who intend to purchase a copy of this eBook, and also to serve as a form of advice to the author when revising the book.
