-
3.00 Credits
An introductory laboratory and lecture course covering the application of numerical methods to the solution of problems encountered in mechanics and electrostatics. Lecture, one hour; laboratory, four hours per week. Prereq: PHY 404G or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
An intermediate-level laboratory course emphasizing quantum phenomena in atomic, solid state and nuclear systems. Laboratory techniques include optical spectroscopy, gamma-ray and particle detection, atomic and nuclear collisions, and interferometry. This course satisfies the Graduation Writing Requirement. Prereq: PHY 335, PHY 361.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic aspects of the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter. Bohr atom, atomic spectra, radioactivity, energetics of decay. Sources of radiation, penetration of charged particles, electromagnetic radiation, and neutrons through matter; excitation and ionization processes; selected nuclear reactions; basic radiation detection and dosimetry. Prereq: PHY 213 or 232; MA 114 (may be taken concurrently); or equivalent. (Same as RM 472G.)
-
1.00 Credits
Reports and discussion on student research projects and research topics from the literature of physics and astronomy. May be repeated to a maximum of two credits. Prereq: PHY 361, COM 199 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
With mentoring from faculty member(s), advanced undergraduate students propose and execute an independent research project. A final report will be written and a presentation will be made in a forum such as a professional meeting, a student group such as a regional or national Society of Physics Students meeting, or a small group of faculty. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits. Prereq: Advanced standing.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation and extension of PHY 404G. Includes dynamics of a particle, rigid bodies, Lagrange's equations, constrained motions, and oscillations. Prereq: PHY 404G, MA 214.
-
3.00 Credits
The course and its sequel (MA/PHY 507) are designed to develop, for first-year graduate students, familiarity with the mathematical tools useful in physics. Topics include curvilinear coordinates, infinite series, integrating and solving differential equations of physics, and methods of complex variables. Work with Green's functions, eigenvalues, matrices and the calculus of variations are included as a part of MA/PHY 506 and 507. Prereq: PHY 404G or equivalent. (Same as MA 506.)
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of MA/PHY 506. Fourier and Laplace Transforms, the special functions (Bessel, Elliptic, Gamma, etc.) are described. Work with Green's functions, eigenvalues, matrices and the calculus of variations are included as a part of MA/PHY 506 and 507. Prereq: MA/PHY 506. (Same as MA 507.)
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture and problem course providing an introduction to the concepts and formalism of quantum mechanics. Primary emphasis is on the Schrodinger equation and its applications including the simple harmonic oscillator, the square well, the hydrogen atom, orbital and spin angular momenta, matrix representation of two level systems. Prereq: PHY 361, MA 214; recommended: MA 322.
-
3.00 Credits
Temperature, heat, and entropy, and the Laws of Thermodynamics, as applied to simple systems. Introduction to statistical mechanics and the description of thermodynamic quantities in terms of ensemble averages. Prereq: PHY 361 and MA 214.
