-
3.00 Credits
A calculus based study of the theory and application of mechanics, relativity, thermodynamics, waves and sound, electricity, magnetism, and light. Class 3. Prerequisites: PHYS 2013 and MATH 1903. Corequisite: PHYS 2021. (Fall)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of astrophysical phenomena. The focus of this course will be on planetary and stellar systems, with an introduction to cosmology. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisite: MATH 1203 or higher. (Summer)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of special relativity, the dual nature of particles and waves, principles of quantum mechanics, including bound states and free particles, quantum tunneling, and a quantitative investigation of the Hydrogen atom. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: PHYS 2023 and MATH 2013. (Spring, Odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of nonclassical physics including the study of spin and multi-electron atoms, the statistics of Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, and Bose-Einstein systems, with applications in molecules, solids, nuclei, and elementary particles and their relevance to the early universe. Class 3. Prerequisites: MATH 2023 and PHYS 3214. (Fall, Odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
An independent research course where the student designs a science unit for an upper-level elementary or secondary course focused in physics. The objective is to find and integrate print and electronic resources to present concepts and actively engage the learners with the concepts appropriate to their level. Class 1. Prerequisite: 8 hours of lab science. (On Demand)
-
3.00 Credits
To expose students considering a career in scientific research to issues and realities of this professional arena. Topics include the scientific method, searching the literature, writing scientific proposals, the principle investigator, approaching analysis of data, presenting results, and the publication process. This course also prepares students for supervised undergraduate research. (Same as BIOL 3951 and CHEM 3951.) Class 1. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing. (Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
A mathematically rigorous treatment of classical mechanics including in depth treatments of Newton's laws, oscillations and gravity, motion in non-inertial reference frames, rotations of rigid bodies, coupled oscillations, and an introduction to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics. Class 3. Prerequisites: MATH 2023 and PHYS 2023. (Fall, Even years)
-
3.00 Credits
A mathematically rigorous treatment of quantum mechanics applied to translational, vibrational, and rotational energies of molecular systems. Topics include the variation method, perturbation theory, as well as ab-initio and semi-empirical treatments of polyatomic molecules. (Same as CHEM 4253.) Class 3. Prerequisites: Either CHEM 4123 or PHYS 3214, and MATH 2023. (Fall, Odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
A mathematically rigorous treatment of electromagnetic theory, leading to wave solutions of the Maxwell equations; the propagation, reflection and refraction of light; geometrical optics including mirrors, lenses, and optical instruments; physical optics including polarization, interference, and diffraction of light; and an introduction to Fourier optics. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: PHYS 2023 and MATH 2013. (Spring, Even years)
