Understanding Physics Part 2

IIT JEE Main and Advanced test the conceptual knowledge of aspirants by asking real-life application based problems on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Keeping this in mind, we have been publishing our best-selling series of books exclusively on different topics of all three subjects to enable aspirants for advanced ability to tackle any type of questions asked from them. "Understanding Physics" is one of those best-selling series written by renowned author, D.C. Pandey which carries five fully comprehensive textbooks presenting 36 essential chapters of Physics. The second book on Mechanics Volume 2 has been revised thoroughly to reinforce the foundation of Mechanics simply and coherently with 6 scoring chapters promoting in-depth discussions on each theory. The focused study material for concept building along with applications for solidifying the problem-solving skills given in this book are highly advantageous. It also provides the last 6 years’ questions of JEE Main and Advanced to know the trend and patterns of questions. Enclosed with well-organized and premier set of study material to develop the substantial knowledge of Physics required for acing IIT JEE Main and Advanced, this book is the absolute best in terms of both quality and quantity.

It is well written, well illustrated and has a fresh approach. - Professor Malcolm Cooper ...it covers the topics of introductory physics in a uniform and refreshing way. - Dr. Jan Petter Hansen ...it has just the coverage that we have been looking for but have so far been unable to find. - Dr. Edward Thomas In my opinion this is an excellent text. It is well balanced, it is explanatory and it has an interesting integrated structure - Dr. Leif Karlsson The authors have succeeded very well in including 'really modern physics' in such a way, that it is meaningful and understandable. - Dr. Ton van Leeuwen A solid text-boo, well written. Many original derivations. Good examples and exercises. In many ways this book is quite exceptional in its approach which is quite original... - Professor Alex Montwill

A thorough grounding in contemporary physics while placing the subject into its social and historical context. Based largely on the highly respected Project Physics Course developed by two of the authors, it also integrates the results of recent pedagogical research. The text thus teaches the basic phenomena in the physical world and the concepts developed to explain them; shows that science is a rational human endeavour with a long and continuing tradition, involving many different cultures and people; develops facility in critical thinking, reasoned argumentation, evaluation of evidence, mathematical modelling, and ethical values. The treatment emphasises not only what we know but also how we know it, why we believe it, and what effects this knowledge has.

Motion, Sound, and Heat.

Keeping the mathematics to a minimum yet losing none of the required rigor, Understanding Solid State Physics, Second Edition clearly explains basic physics principles to provide a firm grounding in the subject. This new edition has been fully updated throughout, with recent developments and literature in the field, including graphene and the use of quasicrystalline materials, in addition to featuring new journalistic boxes and the reciprocal lattice. The author underscores the technological applications of the physics discussed and emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of scientific research. After introducing students to solid state physics, the text examines the various ways in which atoms bond together to form crystalline and amorphous solids. It also describes the measurement of mechanical properties and the means by which the mechanical properties of solids can be altered or supplemented for particular applications. The author discusses how electromagnetic radiation interacts with the periodic array of atoms that make up a crystal and how solids react to heat on both atomic and macroscopic scales. She then focuses on conductors, insulators, semiconductors, and superconductors, including some basic semiconductor devices. The final chapter addresses the magnetic properties of solids as well as applications of magnets and magnetism. This accessible textbook provides a useful introduction to solid state physics for undergraduates who feel daunted by a highly mathematical approach. By relating the theories and concepts to practical applications, it shows how physics is used in the real world. Key features: Fully updated throughout, with new journalistic boxes and recent applications Uses an accessible writing style and format, offering journalistic accounts of interesting research, worked examples, self-test questions, and a helpful glossary of frequently used terms Highlights various technological applications of physics, from locomotive lights to medical scanners to USB flash drives
