WAVES & SOUND

INTRODUCTION
This study material is intended exclusively for the usage of RADIANCE students preparing for IIT-
JEE. Its design is based on our experience with students over the past few years. This material
covers extensively the fundamental principles and concepts involved, solved problems which high-
light the application of these concepts and assignments for practice by the students.
Though this study material is written on the basis of the syllabi prescribed by IITs for the Joint
Entrance Examination, it will also prove useful to students who are preparing for other Engineering
examinations like AIEEE & BITSAT since the content of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
remains almost the same for these examinations also.

We would also emphasize that it is the responsibility of the student to inform his/her parents/
guardian about his/her performance in the classes and tests.

Wishing you a very successful year at RADIANCE

A Word of Advice
Note down the doubts and difficulties that you face in the study material and ensure that these are
removed in the class.
Do full justice to the assignment problems. Even if you do not get the answer to a problem, keep
trying on your own and only approach your friends or teachers after making lot of attempts.
Do not look at the answer and try to work backwards. This would defeat the purpose of doing the
problem. Remember the purpose of doing an assignment problem is not simply to get the answer (it
is only evidence that you solved it correctly) but to develop your ability to think.
Before attempting the objective assignment make it sure that you have understood and solve the
subjective ones of at least Level-I and II. It is advisable to solve the objective problems of each level
at a single sitting.
In case you miss a class (which you should not unde any circumstances), go hrough the study
material of that topic on your own, take the help of your friends int eh class and pass on your
problems to the faculty member in writing. Remember it is your sole responsibility to cover the
topics that you have missed partly or completely.
It is possible that during your school - examinations, you might like to miss some classes at RADI-
ANCE Generally each day of class at RADIANCE must be supported by minimum 4 to 5 hr of study

from your side. On top of this if you miss a class you must put at least 1 1
2 times of these hours to
take care of the missed class. So never even think of missing any class at RADIANCE
We believe that you can produce the desired result provided you strictly follow our instructions. If
you do not follow our instructions, you might still produce some success in IIT-JEE, but it would
never really be your optimum performance.
