The oscillatory and wave phenomena are very common in nature and the relevent

study forms a course of extreme importance in basic physics. In the present book on

waves and oscillations, the book has been divided into five units with six chapters. First two

chapters of the book are devoted to the study of simple, damped and forced harmonic

oscillations. Third chapter deals with complex vibrations which are analysed with the help of

Fourier theorem. Vibrations of strings and bars are discussed in next two chapters. Last

chapter deals with the topic on ultrasonics, being a subject of scientific, teachnologcal and

medical importance.

In order to understand the basic concepts of physics, it is necessary that the students

have sufficient practice to solve the related problems. To stress this point, the subject

comittee has made it necessary that at least three problems are to be asked in each theory

paper. This is why we have given a sufficient number of selected informative and modern

solved problems inside each chapter followed by a good number of unsloved problems at

the end of each chapter.

In writing this book, we have tried to present the subject matter in simple language

so that an average student feels interesting in following the text. Though best effort has

been made not to have any mistake inside the book, even then some mistakes may have

inadvertently crept in. The author shall feel highly grateful to the readers who will point

out and inform regarding any mistake. Further any suggestion towards the improvement of

the subject matter will be thankfully received.
