This document systematically addresses a set of advanced exercises in wave physics, providing a detailed analytical framework for understanding complex wave phenomena. The first problem initiates with an examination of wave propagation within a crystal lattice, focusing on the derivation and analysis of phase velocity and group velocity, alongside their limiting behaviors, particularly for long wavelengths. This sets the stage for understanding dispersion in periodic structures. Subsequently, the second problem shifts focus to ionized gases, or plasma, where the task involves determining the dispersion relation, calculating the product of phase and group velocities, and meticulously analyzing their asymptotic behaviors as the wave frequency approaches the plasma frequency. This section is crucial for plasma physics applications. The final problem delves into the interaction of a monochromatic plane wave with a general dielectric medium. It challenges the reader to prove specific frequency conditions for which the dielectric constant becomes zero, to calculate the induced charge density and current density within the medium due to the electromagnetic field, and ultimately, to derive both the dielectric constant ε(ω) and the dispersion relation for longitudinal waves in a medium where electron response is modeled classically via a harmonic restoring force. Collectively, these exercises offer a robust theoretical and computational toolkit for analyzing wave mechanics, electromagnetic wave propagation in various media, and the fundamental principles of solid-state and plasma physics. They underscore the importance of mathematical derivation and limit analysis in resolving complex physical problems, making them invaluable for both academic study and practical engineering applications.
