Features: This book is the second volume of the "New University Physics Series." This series is a revolutionary set of textbooks designed for the 21st-century physics education, making beneficial explorations and reforms in modernizing the content, scientifically structuring the system, diversifying the problem-solving models, and optimizing the layout design. The book covers three parts: Thermodynamics, Vibrations and Waves, and Modern Physics. Thermodynamics is divided into Gas Theory and the Physical Foundations of Thermodynamics; Vibrations and Waves include Vibration, Wave, Interference of Light, Diffraction of Light, and Polarization of Light; Modern Physics is divided into the Foundations of Special Relativity, the Experimental Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, and an Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. Additionally, some chapters include special reading materials at the end to introduce the latest advancements in the field of physics and the important applications of physical principles in modern technology. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for various engineering majors, science disciplines, and non-physics majors at normal universities. It can also be used as a reference for students and teachers at television universities, correspondence universities, and related engineering and technical personnel.
