Course Overview
The Waves and Oscillations course is designed to help candidates understand one of the most important concepts in physics, waves, and oscillations. The course gives insights into how this theory can be applied to understand how specific applications like communication gadgets, musical instruments, and other electronic devices work.
The Waves and Oscillations certification course emphasises the current trends and practices of why and how devices rely on this concept. The course also deep dives into different aspects of wave phenomenon. Furthermore, the method of teaching is not only theoretical. Candidates will gain in-depth insights into the practical application of the theory as well.
Moreover, Professor M S Santhanam from the prestigious IISER, who has conducted various researches on the same, teaches the Waves and Oscillations online programme. The course is perfect for students who want to specialise in Physics as it will help you to evolve your thinking about the concept of waves and oscillations and their future uses.
