Oscillations & Waves

Description

 

Oscillations and Waves by Jasminder Jeet Singh

This book is for 10+1 science students and covers complete syllabus of electrostatics of CBSE, Punjab Board, Haryana Board and Himachal Board.  The different concepts are explained in a detailed way and by using a simple language.  Main stress is laid on diagrams, which are self explanatory and helps to explain the concept easily.

Syllabus (Contents of the book):
