Features: This physics textbook is composed of two parts: Matter and Fields, and Waves and Particles, each part being a separate volume. This is the Waves and Particles volume, which follows the theme of waves and particles and is divided into three parts. Part 3 is Vibrations and Waves, covering topics such as vibrations, waves, and the wave nature of light. Part 4 is the Wave-Particle Duality of Matter, including the wave-particle duality of light and the basics of quantum mechanics. Part 5 is the Macroscopic Laws of the Motion of Large Numbers of Particles, covering the basics of statistical physics (including lasers and masers) and the basics of thermodynamics. Each chapter includes a summary and exercises. The exercises are divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Categories A and B are of different difficulty levels, Category C is multiple-choice questions, and Category D is English exercises, designed to meet the needs of teaching and the increasing demand for English proficiency among college students in the 21st century. The book also includes reference answers at the end. This textbook is intended for engineering university physics courses and can also serve as a teaching or self-study reference for teachers and students at other higher education institutions.
