3.00 Credits
Methods of quantum theory including quantum state vectors, operators, eigenvalue equations, and expectation values. The Schrodinger Equation and applications to quantum spins, bound particles, free particles, and scattering. Three-dimensional problems including the hydrogen atom. Perturbation theory and its application to atoms and molecules. Modern applications of quantum mechanics such as quantum cryptography, quantum computing, and magnetic resonance.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 220 AND PHYS 314
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of advanced topics in computational physics including chaotic motion, mechanical and electromagnetic waves, diffusion, and fluid dynamics. Problems are solved using numerical methods involving ordinary and partial differential equations, linear algebra, and fast Fourier transforms. High-performance computing techniques are introduced to solve problems using multi-core and many-core computer architectures.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 220 AND PHYS 301 AND PHYS 302 AND PHYS 314 AND MATH 314 AND (CS 190 OR CS 226 OR MATH 213)
-
1.00 Credits
Students will learn experimental skills in physics by performing advanced undergraduate physics experiments that involve laser spectroscopy, interferometry, resonance, Fourier methods, digital oscilloscopes, and single photon tests of quantum mechanics. Students will learn methods for communicating scientific results in the form of formal laboratory reports, including the appropriate scientific content, style, format, clarity, and analysis. Students will also learn oral presentation skills by preparing and delivering an oral presentation on one of the advanced undergraduate physics experiments.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 220 AND PHYS 314
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include the fundamental physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms that lead to radiation-induced biological damage. The course will begin with interactions and responses at a molecular level and progress towards cellular and systemic responses to the damage. Methods for asscessing the dose to biological systems and the corresponding risk will be addressed.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 316 AND BIOL 106
-
4.00 Credits
Topics to be covered include the interaction of radiation with matter, gas and scintillation counters, semiconductor detectors; counting statistics, special electronic circuits, and the literature of radiation detection.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 310 AND PHYS 316
-
4.00 Credits
Topics include the biophysical basis for radiation protection, environmental and personnel monitoring, dosimetry and dose calculations, shielding, standards for radiation exposure, waste treatment and disposal, emergency procedures, government regulations, and safety procedures.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 416
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover applications and more indepth analysis of health physics principles presented in PHYS 417Advanced topics will be presented, and the implementation of these principles to real-world applications will be discussed. Emphasis on practical applications of radiological protection principles including design of a radiation safety program, special considerations for various radiation-generating facilities, current trends in waste management, response to radiological incidents, risk assessment, and homeland security.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 417
-
1.00 Credits
In conjunction with a physics faculty adviser, each student will prepare a formal scientific review article on a physics topic. The topics assigned will be determined based on the interest of the student. The culmination of this course is a detailed written report and an oral presentation.
-
1.00 Credits
In conjunction with a physics faculty adviser, each student will complete one or more research projects in physics. The projects assigned will be determined based on the interest of the student. The culmination of this course is a detailed written report and an oral presentation.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Open only to juniors and seniors with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher in their major courses. A maximum of three semester hours may be earned. All individual research projects are reviewed by three faculty members from two different disciplines. May be taken for credit (three hours) towards the Honors degree by special arrangement.
