College Physics. Volume 2

This book is based on the "Basic Requirements for the Teaching of University Physics Courses for Non-Physics Majors in Science and Engineering" recently formulated by the Ministry of Education, starting from the requirements for talent training in the form of popular education, and based on the characteristics of current students. This book has clear ideas and concise expressions. It attaches great importance to the description of physical ideas and physical images, and the content is easy to understand. It is equipped with a wealth of exercises to facilitate the timely consolidation of knowledge points. Strive to achieve an organic combination of modern physics and classical physics, and an organic combination of physical theory and engineering technology practice. In order to increase the affinity of physics, each chapter is followed by a biographical introduction of the relevant physicist. The entire book adopts the International System of Units, and all terms are based on the basic physics terms published by the National Natural Science Terminology Approval Committee in 1988. The book has a total of nineteen chapters, divided into two volumes, the upper and lower volumes. This book is the second volume, with a total of nine chapters. Including vibration and wave, wave optics, thermal and modern physics, etc. This book can be used as a textbook or reference book for college physics courses in non-physics majors in science and engineering in colleges and universities, and can also be read by other professional and social readers.
