PHYS 471 - Modern Physics

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHYS - Physics

Description:

This course provides an introduction to quantum physics with applications drawn mainly from modern theories of atomic and nuclear structure. Topics include: the old quantum (Bohr) Theory, the periodic table, the wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, the Schrodinger equation, and other aspects of elementary quantum mechanics. We may include Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics, the Pauli exclusion principle, and elementary angular momentum theory. We may also study developments in nuclear physics, condensed-matter physics, and elementary particle physics.
