-
4.00 Credits
A mathematical investigation of static and time-dependent electric and magnetic fields emphasizing vector differential operators. Laplace's, Poisson's, and Maxwell's equations. Prerequisite: Physics 120 (or Physics 102 with the permission of instructor) and Physics 292 or Mathematics 290
-
4.00 Credits
A study of geometrical, physical, and quantum optics. Topics may include the theory and applications of spectroscopy, lasers, fiber optics, and detectors, as well as an analysis of interference, diffraction, and polarization. One laboratory session per week. Prerequisite: Physics 102 or 120.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the physical foundations of biological molecules and processes. Topics include the fundamentals of molecular dynamics, transport processes in biological molecules, the physics of biological polymers/membranes, biological energy, membrane excitations, nerve impulses, and signal transduction. Physical methods such as resonance techniques and microscopy and their application to the study of biological molecules are also discussed. Prerequisites: Physics 210 and Chemistry 112, or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory study of crystalline and amorphous materials including symmetry, crystal-binding, crystal-diffraction, phonons (Einstein- and Debye-models), free electron Fermi gas, Bose-Einstein theory, and superconductivity. Topics of current research interest such as computer simulation of amorphous materials, superlattices, and novel mechanisms of superconductivity are also included. Prerequisite: Physics 102 or Physics 120.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the concepts of quantum mechanics with an emphasis on mathematical analysis. The course begins with an introduction to the Schrodinger equation and the formalism of quantum mechanics. Dirac representation, Hilbert space, and Hermitianoperators are introduced. Quantum mechanical systems are compared with classical systems and discussed with respect to quantum mechanical uncertainty, time development and conservation theorems. Various applications of quantum mechanics are considered. Prerequisites: Physics 230 and Physics 292 or equivalent."
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of selected current topics of interest in astrophysics, such as dark matter, dark energy, black hole formation, star cluster dynamics, stellar collisions, the mass of neutrinos, planetary formation, and gravity wave sources. Students contribute to the class through discussion and brief presentations. Group discussion is based on readings from journal articles and monographs. Prerequisites: Physics 102 or 120; and Physics 020, 129, or 320; or permission of instructor. Credit: Two semester hours. Offered alternate years.
