4.00 Credits
A standard intermediate-level optics course which will treat the basics of wave theory and the electromagnetic origin of optical phenomena, geometrical optics, physical optics including Fourier optics, Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction and dispersion. The course will conclude with some consideration of current topics such as holography, quantum optics and non-linear optics. Text will be on the level of Jenkins and White or Hecht. Prerequisites: MAT 241 and PHY 202 with a grade of "C-" or higher in each course.
-
1.00 Credits
A non-introductory optics laboratory, this course encompasses both geometric and wave optics including measurements of the speed of light, refractive indices, polarization of light, spectroscopy, lasers, holography and interference phenomena and instruments. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHY 335.
-
4.00 Credits
For physics, engineering and chemistry majors, this is a one-year sequence that discusses the most important developments in 20th century physics. The first semester will review special relativity and treat the foundations of quantum physics from a historical perspective; the quantum theory of one-electron atoms will be developed. In the second semester, there will be a treatment of many-electron atoms, molecules and solids, with an introduction to nuclear and elementary particle physics. The text will be on the level of Eisberg and Resnick, Quantum Physics. Prerequisites: PHY 202 and PHY 332; PHY 421 must precede PHY 422.
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory work will include experimental determination of fundamental constants such as h, e and e/m as well as standard experiments such as Franck-Hertz, Rutherford scattering, electronic spin resonance, Millikan oil-drop, Bragg diffraction, etc. Corequisites: PHY 421 and PHY 422.

4.00 Credits
This course will examine a variety of mathematical ideas and methods used in physical sciences. Topics may include: vector calculus; solutions of partial differential equations, including the wave and heat equations; special functions; eigenvalue problems; Fourier analysis and mathematical modeling, particularly numerical computer methods. Text will be on the level of Arfken or Mathews and Walker. Prerequisite: MAT 241 with a grade of "C-" or higher.
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Topics are drawn from areas of theoretical physics, or closely related fields such as astronomy and cosmology, which are not treated in detail in standard courses offered in the physics department. This course is appropriate for students at the advanced level of preparation.

1.00 - 4.00 Credits
An internship is designed to provide a formalized experiential learning opportunity to qualified students. The internship generally requires the student to obtain a faculty supervisor in the relevant field of study, submit a learning agreement, work 30 hours for every hour of academic credit, keep a written journal of the work experience, have regularly scheduled meetings with the faculty supervisor and write a research paper dealing with some aspect of the internship. Written work should total five pages of academic writing for every hour of credit. An extensive list of internships is maintained by career services, including opportunities at a number of local engineering firms and technically-based corporations and labs. Prerequisites: Permission of the faculty supervisor, qualification for the internship program, permission of an internship site supervisor and acceptance of learning agreement proposal by the Experiential Education Committee.
