Book description
This book is designed as per the new Curriculum conceived for the students of B.Sc. (Physics). Although the approach is primarily qualitative, a reasonably large number of illustrative examples and segregated exercises are included, wherever possible, to ensure that the students develop a taste of real rigour of physics.
