-
3.00 Credits
The study of a special topic in physics.
-
4.00 Credits
This is the first term of a two-term honors version of Physics 0174-0175. The material is taught at a more mathematically advanced level and is intended for students with a strong background in physics and math. This term deals with Mechanics. Topics covered include vectors, Newton's laws, concepts of momentum, energy, angular momentum, rigid body motion, non-inertial systems, central force motion and harmonic oscillators.
-
2.00 Credits
A laboratory course emphasizing the collection, analysis, and interpretation of experimental data and experiments in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, heat, optics, wave motion, electronics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Prerequisite: PHYS 0202, 0204
-
3.00 Credits
The basics of relativity and quantum theory, with emphasis on the physics of atoms and nuclei. Prerequisite: PHYS 0202, 0204
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes the study of electromagnetic theory, electrostatics, magnetic and electrostatic fields, time varying fields, boundary value problems, Maxwell’s equations, and applications. Prerequisites: PHYS 0202, 0204, MATH 0201
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes the study of geometrical optics (lenses, mirrors, Snell’s Law), physical optics (diffraction, polarization, interference, quantum optics) lasers, holography, and modern concepts of light. Prerequisites: PHYS 0202, 0204, MATH 0201
-
3.00 Credits
(Cross-listed with MATH 1325) 3 cr. Various mathematical approaches such as finite difference and Monte Carlo methods are employed to solve problems from classical and modern physics. These numerical problems are included but not limited to the scattering of light by small particles, celestial mechanics, and applications of the Schrodinger Equation. A suitable symbolic platform such as mathematica will be utilized for this task.
