The book consists of twelve chapters that include the explanations of the properties of materials in details with fairness. This volume has study of Elasticity, Cantilever, Viscosity, Fluid dynamics, Surface Tension, Gravitation, Simple Harmonic Motion, Oscillations, Forced Oscillation, Damped Oscillation, Sound Waves and Doppler Effect is made to fulfill the requirements of different kinds of readers. This volume has to present illustrative examples of both the ideas and the methods. The book is intended as a text book on Properties of Matter, Waves and Oscillations for undergraduate levels and also as a reference book for anyone who is interested in this field of enquiry.
A lot of books on this topic are available in the market. Sometimes students are facing serious obstacles in their learning process due to their unavoidable situations and no previous much study of Properties of Matter, Waves and Oscillations. The book is comprehensive enough to cover all the topics that are usually taught to the upper undergraduate students of Physics. But because of the above mentioned features, this book will entertain students and teachers alike who have no previous much study of Properties of Matter, Waves and Oscillations. Hence, teachers of courses on Properties of Matter, Waves and Oscillations can use the book as their own lecture plans without any modification.
It is to be noted that the purpose of this book is to cover the basic principles and methods of Properties of Matter, Waves and Oscillations which are usually included in the course of teaching physics at the undergraduate levels. I hope that this book will be useful to the students and teachers in the different universities around the world.

Chapter Summaries
- Preface: Introduces the book's purpose, intended audience, and structure. Highlights the author's experience and the book's unique approach to make Physics>Properties of Matter, Waves & Oscillations accessible to students.
- Aims of the book: Outlines the specific learning objectives for undergraduate students in engineering, pure, and applied sciences. Explains the book's focus on large-scale matter properties and its progression to less accessible small-scale phenomena. Emphasizes the use of illustrative examples to clarify both concepts and methods.
Keywords
The primary focus of this book is on the properties of matter, waves, oscillations, and their applications. Key concepts include elasticity, viscosity, surface tension, wave propagation, superposition, interference, diffraction, resonance, and the fundamental mathematical principles underlying these phenomena. This book is designed to enhance the understanding of undergraduate students in various disciplines, including physics, engineering, and applied sciences.
