Complete B.Sc. Semester-III Physics Textbook

A Text Book of Electromagnetic Theory & Modern Optics is specially designed for B.Sc. Semester-III Physics students studying under the latest National Education Policy (NEP 2020) curriculum. Published by Kanha Publishing House, this book follows the syllabus prescribed for DDU Gorakhpur University and other U.P. State Universities and Colleges.

Written by renowned Physics faculty Dr. V.P. Srivastava, the book explains every topic in a simple, systematic, and examination-oriented manner. It combines theoretical concepts with derivations, numerical applications, solved examples, and chapter-wise Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) to strengthen conceptual understanding and improve examination performance.

Part A – Electromagnetic Theory

The first part covers the complete fundamentals of Electromagnetic Theory, including Electrostatics, Electric Fields in Matter, Magnetostatics, Magnetic Properties of Materials, Time-Varying Electromagnetic Fields, Maxwell’s Equations, Electromagnetic Waves, Reflection and Refraction of Electromagnetic Waves, and their practical applications.

Part B – Modern Optics

The second part focuses on Modern Optics, covering Interference, Diffraction (Fresnel & Fraunhofer), Polarisation of Light, Resolving Power of Optical Instruments, Optical Rotation, Lasers, and comprehensive chapter-wise MCQs for university examinations.

This textbook is highly recommended for B.Sc. Semester-III Physics students preparing for university examinations, competitive examinations, and higher studies in Physics.
