-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion of PHYS 4175 with a feasible project, budget, and research plan. This course is a requirement for the major and serves as the Capstone Experience for the major. Using the project plan developed in PHYS 4175, students will use this semester to carry out the research previously proposed. The project may be performed by an individual or by a team as determined by the proposal. The course consists of weekly meetings to discuss the progress and possible refi nement of the project as well as a regular lab schedule during which the work is done. The result of the course will be a written report (suitable for journal submission) and formal presentation to the Society of Physics Students (or at a conference). (Fall, Spring)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 2520, MATH 3341. This is a required course for Physics majors. The fi rst of two parts, this course is an in-depth study of kinematics, dynam- ics, central force motion, harmonic motion, and related areas of Mechanics. A strong mathematical focus, using Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, is taken. (Alternate Falls)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 4300, MATH 2340; Co-requisites: MATH 3301. This course serves as an advanced elective for physics majors. The second of two parts, this course applies the methods of Classical Mechanics developed in PHYS 4300 towards complicated oscillatory systems, the motion of rigid bodies, and related areas of Mechanics. Mechanics of continuous media may be considered. (Alternate Springs)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 2520, MATH 3301. Corequisite MATH 3341. This is a required course for physics majors. The fi rst of two parts, this course will cover such topics as vector analysis, electrostatics, Gauss' Law, multipoles, BVP, dielectrics, and steady currents. (Alternate Falls)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 4310. This course is required for physics students with electric engineering focus and serves as advanced elective for other physics students. The second of two parts, this course will cover such topics as magnetostatics, Ampere's law, Faraday's Law, Maxwell'equations, and radiation. (As needed)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 4300, MATH 3301. Corequisite MATH 3351. This course is required for physics and electrical engineering focus students, but serves as an advanced elective for students with civil/mechanical focus. This course offers an introduction to quantum mechanics, including such topics as wave mechanics, Schroedinger's equation and its applications, barrier problems, harmonic oscillators, angular momentum, and applications to atomic and molecular processes. (Alternate Springs)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Co-requisite: PHYS 3300. This course is an advanced elective for physics majors. Topics include the formation of the solar system, Kepler's Laws, the planets, and an introduction to plasma physics. Satellite and telescope instrumentation will also be discussed. (As needed)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 3300: Corequisites: MATH 3301, MATH 3351. This course is required for physics and civil/mechanical engineering focus students, but serves as an advanced elective for students with electrical engineering focus. The fi rst of two parts, this course will concentrate on fundamental principles of classical thermodynamics. It will cover such topics as three laws of classical thermodynamics, thermodynamic potentials, thermodynamic equilibrium and phase transitions, transport, and kinetic phenomena. Different applications of these principles towards engines and various electric, magnetic, and chemical processes will be considered. (Alternate Springs).
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 4300, PHYS 4360, MATH 3301, and MATH 3351. This course serves as an advanced elective for physics majors. The second of two parts, this course will concentrate on fundamental principles of statistical thermodynamics. It will show how these principles are related to classical thermodynamics and classical mechanics. It will consider application of those principles towards simple microscopic models of gases, liquids, and solids. More in-depth study of phase transitions and physical kinetics is also possible. (Alternate Falls)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 3300 and any two 4000-level physics courses or permission of instructor. This course serves as an advanced elective for physics majors. The course will cover the physics of materials in the solid state, such as crystal properties, electron behavior, lattice behavior, energy bands, semiconductors and other materials, and simple electronic devices. (As needed)
