Physics, Volume 2

In the newly revised Twelfth Edition of Physics: Volume 2, an accomplished team of physicists and educators delivers an accessible and rigorous approach to the skills students need to succeed in physics education. Readers will learn to understand foundational physics concepts, solve common physics problems, and see real-world applications of the included concepts to assist in retention and learning. The text includes Check Your Understanding questions, Math Skills boxes, multi-concept problems, and worked examples. The second volume of a two-volume set, Volume 2 explores ideas and concepts like the reflection, refraction, and wave-particle duality of light. Throughout, students knowledge is tested with concept and calculation problems and team exercises that focus on cooperation and learning.
