Download or read book Waves And Rays In Seismology Answers To Unasked Questions Second Edition written by Michael A Slawinski and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In summary, Professor Slawinski has written an engaging volume covering an unfamiliar topic in a highly accessible fashion. Non-specialists will gain a significant appreciation of the unique complexities associated with seismology.'Contemporary PhysicsThe author dedicates this book to readers who are concerned with finding out the status of concepts, statements and hypotheses, and with clarifying and rearranging them in a logical order. It is thus not intended to teach tools and techniques of the trade, but to discuss the foundations on which seismology — and in a larger sense, the theory of wave propagation in solids — is built. A key question is: why and to what degree can a theory developed for an elastic continuum be used to investigate the propagation of waves in the Earth, which is neither a continuum nor fully elastic. But the scrutiny of the foundations goes much deeper: material symmetry, effective tensors, equivalent media; the influence (or, rather, the lack thereof) of gravitational and thermal effects and the rotation of the Earth, are discussed ab initio. The variational principles of Fermat and Hamilton and their consequences for the propagation of elastic waves, causality, Noether's theorem and its consequences on conservation of energy and conservation of linear momentum are but a few topics that are investigated in the process to establish seismology as a science and to investigate its relation to subjects like realism and empiricism in natural sciences, to the nature of explanations and predictions, and to experimental verification and refutation.In the second edition, new sections, figures, examples, exercises and remarks are added. Most importantly, however, four new appendices of about one-hundred pages are included, which can serve as a self-contained continuum-mechanics course on finite elasticity. Also, they broaden the scope of elasticity theory commonly considered in seismology.

Download or read book WAVE OPTICS written by SURESH GARG and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2011-12-24 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook offers a complete and rigorous presentation of the fundamentals and applications of wave optics. The material of the book covers topics on wave nature of light—reflection, refraction, polarisation, diffraction, dispersion and scattering of electromagnetic waves. Interference phenomenon is discussed both by division of wavefront and by division of amplitude. Diffraction is classified as Fresnel diffraction and Fraunhofer diffraction. The discussion on Fraunhofer diffraction has been used to explain the theory and resolving power of optical instruments. The role of phenomena of dispersion and scattering of light has been lucidly explained in the field of communication of information, its quality and content. The last three chapters are devoted to the study of the recently developed modern topics—lasers, holography, and fibre optics—all of which have opened up immense opportunities for new applications in almost all branches of science and engineering. Though the book is intended for the undergraduate students of physics—both honours and general courses—it will also be useful to candidates aspiring to sit the competitive examinations. KEY FEATURES : Presents interactive text interspersed with in-text questions to enable students to shift focus on active learning. Uses access devices such as expected learning outcomes and practice exercises for directed teaching–learning. Includes numerous worked-out examples to illustrate the concepts and provides review questions to test the students’ understanding of the subject. Gives chapter-end summary for quick revision of the important results.
Download or read book Wave Optics written by George Asimellis and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This third volume of the series Lectures in Optics provides a comprehensive presentation of the Wave Optics effects. The arguments regarding the concept of light, wave or particle, were actually part of the greatest revolution in physics, which, in the early 20th century, bore the modern quantum and atomic optics and, as a byproduct, the laser. Several aspects of optics are strongly dependent on its wave nature. These include polarization (the vectorial nature of light), absorption and dispersion (hailing from the complex nature of the refractive index, as well as the quantum nature of the photon), interference, and diffraction. The latter two are perhaps the greatest manifestations of the wave nature of light. It is often said that interference and diffraction are the two faces of the same coin; they are both manifestations of the wave nature, and provide an excellent demonstration of the power and simplicity of the Fourier Optics concepts. Finally, the book introduces the concepts of laser and its application in a historical as well as in a didactic approach"--
