Thermodynamics & Waves: Fundamentals of Physics for 11 and 12 Class

By V.K. Sachan

In Physics, thermodynamics deals with temperature, heat and their relation to energy, radiation, work, and properties of matter. The energy can be of any forms such as electrical, mechanical, or chemical energy. William Thomson coined the term thermodynamics in 1749. It is derived from two Greek words "thermes" meaning heat, and "dynamikos" meaning powerful. When we say the word dynamic we think of motion or movement and energy. Thus, the term thermodynamics means heat movement or heat flow. Thermodynamics is the branch of Physics which is concerned with the relationship between other forms of energy and heat. The branch of Physics that deals with heat and temperature, and their relation to energy, work, radiation, and properties of matter. In physics, a wave is a disturbance (change from equilibrium) of one or more fields such that the field values oscillate repeatedly about a stable equilibrium (resting) value. The fundamental concepts and principles behind thermodynamics and Waves are explained in a simple, easy- to- understand manner. Each chapter contains a large number of solved example or problem which will help the students in problem solving. This text book "Thermodynamics & Waves" is organized into Five Chapters. Chapter-6: GravitationChapter-7: Properties of MatterChapter-8: Heat and TemperatureChapter-9: Kinetic Theory of GasesChapter 10: Oscillations and Waves Salient Features-Comprehensive Coverage of Gravitation, Properties of Matter, Heat and Temperature, Kinetic Theory of Gases, Oscillations and Waves.-Each chapter contains a large number of solved example or objective type's problem which will help the students in problem solving of Physics.-Clear perception of the various problems with a large number of neat, well drawn and illustrative diagrams. -Simple Language, easy- to- understand manner.Our sincere thanks are due to all Scientists, Engineers, Authors and Publishers, whose works and text have been the source of enlightenment, inspiration and guidance to us in presenting this small book. I will appreciate any suggestions from students and faculty members alike so that we can strive to make the text book more useful in the edition to come.
