Title Wave Motion as Inquiry : The Physics and Applications of Light and Sound Author(s) Espinoza, Fernando Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. Description XIII, 232 p. 201 illus., 176 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This undergraduate textbook on the physics of wave motion in optics and acoustics avoids presenting the topic abstractly in order to emphasize real-world examples. While providing the needed scientific context, Dr. Espinoza also relies on students' own experience to guide their learning. The book's exercises and labs strongly emphasize this inquiry-based approach. A strength of inquiry-based courses is that the students maintain a higher level of engagement when they are studying a topic that they have an internal motivation to know, rather than solely following the directives of a professor. "Wave Motion" takes those threads of engagement and interest and weaves them into a coherent picture of wave phenomena. It demystifies key components of life around us--in music, in technology, and indeed in everything we perceive--even for those without a strong math background, who might otherwise have trouble approaching the subject matter ISBN,Price 9783319457581 Keyword(s) 1.
