Features: This book is the second volume of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology textbook "University Physics," containing the sections on Vibration and Waves, Wave Optics, and Quantum Physics. It covers the general basic principles of vibration and waves, including mechanical vibration, mechanical waves, and electromagnetic waves; the fundamental principles of wave optics, including interference, diffraction, and polarization of light; and the basic concepts and laws of quantum mechanics, including the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles, the Schr?dinger equation, quantum mechanical state information, lasers, and semiconductors. Based on the previous two editions, this book ensures that all the content specified in the "Basic Requirements" for teaching is covered while also focusing on the teachability of fundamental and extended content, as well as student accessibility. This volume also includes two modern physics topics: Chaos and Fractals, and Optical Information Processing. This book is suitable as a university physics textbook for non-physics majors in higher education institutions, as well as a reference book for teaching or self-study for educators and students at all levels.
