-
3.00 Credits
Undergraduate research projects with direction of faculty member. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory course covering all aspects of lasers. Teaches basics of physical and geometrical optics and atomic physics in detail to understand the design, operation, and application of lasers. Topics include matrix methods in ray optics, gaussian beams, cavity design, rate equation models of laser gain media, pulsed and CW lasers, different types of lasers, and nonlinear optics. Applications to communications, optical computing, and image processing are discussed. Prerequisite: PHY 291, 293, or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Survey of the structure of atoms and molecules, using optical spectroscopy as a tool. Lecture reviews the quantum theory of atoms and molecules, including solutions to the Schroedinger equation, spectroscopic notation, transition rates, and selection rules. Laboratory examines a variety of light sources, with increasing resolution. Zeeman, fine structure, and hyperfine structure, in particular, are considered. Emphasis on laboratory investigation. Prerequisite: PHY 291, 293, or permission of instructor. Pre- or corequisite: PHY 341.
-
4.00 Credits
Mechanics, nonrelativistic and relativistic, of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies treated by Newtonian, Langrangian, and Hamiltonian methods using vector and matrix analysis and calculus of variations. Pre- or corequisite: PHY 341 or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Mathematically quantitative lecture and problem course in theory of electromagnetism. Topics include multipole fields, electromagnetic field equations, electromagnetic waves, reflection and refraction, radiating systems, classical electron theory, spherical waves, interference phenomena, and diffraction theory. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHY 341 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Applications of solid state electronic devices and circuits. Includes laboratory experience with discrete devices, integrated circuits, and transducers, and their application to measurements in research situations. Prerequisite: PHY 291, 292, 294.
-
4.00 Credits
Departmental honors may be taken for a minimum of four semester hours and a maximum total of six semester hours, in one or more semesters of the student's senior year.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to the quantum theory and its application to physical systems. Prerequisite: PHY 291. Pre- or corequisite: PHY 341, or permission of instructor.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Emphasizes physics topics that are typically taught in elementary and middle school: motion, energy, electricity, magnetism, sound and light. Collaborative inquiry-based activities apply basic physics principles to the operation of simple toys. For in-service teachers of grades K-9. Concurrent registration in CHM 605 is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Independent research projects in theoretical or experimental physics.
