Static equilibrium, elasticity and fracture -- Chapter 10. Fluids -- Chapter 11. Vibrations and waves -- Chapter 12. Sound -- Chapter 13. Temperature and kinetic theory -- Chapter 14. Heat -- Chapter 15. Laws of thermodynamics -- Chapter 16. Electric charge and electric field -- Chapter 17. Electric potential -- Chapter 18. Electric currents -- Chapter 19. DC circuits -- Chapter 20. Magnetism -- Chapter 21. Electromagnetic induction and Faraday's law -- Chapter 22. Electromagnetic waves -- Chapter 23. Light, geometric optics -- Chapter 24. Wave nature of light -- Chapter 25. Optical instruments -- Chapter 26. Special theory of relativity -- Chapter 27. Early quantum theory and models of the atom -- Chapter 28. Quantum mechanics of atoms -- Chapter 29. Molecules and solids -- Chapter 30. Nuclear physics and radioactivity -- Chapter 31. Nuclear energy, effects and uses of radiation -- Chapter 32. Elementary particles -- Chapter 33. Astrophysics and cosmology .
This book is written for students. It has been written to give students a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of physics in all its aspects, from mechanics to modern physics ... This textbook is especially suited for students taking a one-year introductory course in physics that uses algebra and trigonometry but not calculus. Many of these students are majoring in biology or (pre)medicine, and others may be in architecture, technology, or the earth or environmental sciences.
