Dear experts,
I need to study wave motion in detail. Mainly mechanical waves on a string, reflection of mechanical waves, standing waves, resonance etc. I am looking for a book which covers these basic concepts in minute detail.
For example , I believe that the phase shifts during wave reflection can be explained with a very fundamental law of momentum conservation.

Kindly help me to find some material or textbook or any other similar resource which would give me the right information.

Thank You
