This text was developed over a five-year period during which its authors were teaching the subject. It is the culmination of successful editions of class notes and preliminary texts prepared for their one-semester course at MIT designed for sophomores majoring in physics but taken by students from other departments as well.The book describes the features that vibrations and waves of all sorts have in common and includes examples of mechanical, acoustical, and optical manifestations of these phenomena that unite various parts of physics. The main emphasis, however, is on the oscillatory aspects of the electromagnetic field—that is, on the vibrations, waves, radiation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter. The content is designed primarily for the use of second or third year students of physics who have had a semester of mechanics and a semester of electricity and magnetism. The aim throughout is to provide a mathematically unsophisticated treatment of the subject, but one that stresses modern applications of the principles involved. Descriptions of devices that embody such principles—such as seismometers, magnetrons, thermo-nuclear fusion experimental configurations, and lasers—are introduced at appropriate points in the text to illustrate the theoretical concepts.

Not to be confused with. George Bekefi (14 March 1925, – 17 August 1995, ) was a plasma physicist, a professor at, and an inventor. In 1939 Bekefi emigrated from Czechoslovakia to England by means of a British government program to help Jewish children. He received in 1948 a B.S.

In science and mathematics from. In 1948 he went to as an instructor in the physics department of, where he earned an M.S.

In 1950 and a Ph.D. At McGill he became a research associate and then an assistant professor, leaving in 1957 to join MIT's Plasma Physics Group in the Research Laboratory of Electronics. Bekefi remained at MIT for the remainder of his career. In MIT's physics department he became in 1961 an assistant professor, in 1964 an associate professor, and in 1967 a full professor, retiring in the summer of 1995 as professor emeritus.

In 1976, he and a staff researcher, Dr. Thaddeus Orzechowski, developed a source of radiation producing bursts of microwaves about 50 times as strong as the largest microwave generators then in use. More recently, he worked to develop free-electron lasers as power sources in high-frequency bands. Mio moov m400 map update. Such lasers have wide applications in communications, bulk chemical processing and fusion experiments, as well as cutting, drilling and welding. He received seven patents, wrote more than 180 scientific papers and was the co-author of three books. (NOTE: The preceding quotation from the New York Times obituary should have 'author or co-author' instead of 'co-author' because Bekefi was the sole author of Radiation Processes in Plasmas.) Bekefi guided about 50 graduate students to their M.S. Upon his death from leukemia, he was survived by a wife, a son, and a daughter.
