Classical Are There Good Thermodynamics and Optics Books for Physics Students?

Click For Summary
A physics student seeks recommendations for books on general thermodynamics that include engaging problems, as well as a text covering optics, wave optics, and geometrical optics. For thermodynamics, "Thermal Physics" by Schroeder is suggested for its comprehensive approach and problem sets. For optics, "Modern Optics" by Guenther is recommended for its thorough coverage of the subject.

Hi
I'm a physics student in university, I want to find a book about general thermodynamics which has great and interesting problems. Includes a bit of statistical physics and molecular physics.
And a book has theory and problems about optics, wave optics and geometrical optics.
Thanks for helping

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
