The manual is aimed at the formation of skills and abilities for solving typical problems in oscillatory and wave processes studied in the general course of physics. Contains detailed solutions of problems from well-known problem solvers in physics for universities. For each topic, in addition to a summary of basic concepts, laws and formulas, methodological instructions are given, including the classification of typical problems and general algorithms for solving them. In order to consolidate practical skills, tasks for independent solution. are included For each topic, examples of test tasks are given, which are similar to the tasks of the federal Internet testing of basic knowledge. The manual is intended for use in the educational process, including for independent work of students in general physics at technical universities. ;Griff:Admitted by the NMS in Physics of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation as a textbook in physics for students studying in technical areas and specialties
