-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1-4 hours. Topics vary from year to year and are designed especially for, but not limited to, non-science majors. Typical topics might be light and color, music and sound; or laboratory topics to include aspects of physics of interest to artists, musicians, photographers, environmentalists, etc. (Sufficient demand)
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. This course discusses geometrical and wave optics with special emphasis on optical instruments. Prerequisite: PHYS 126.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. This course includes basic relativity, quantum and waves aspects of radiation and particles, atomic structure, and an introduction to nuclear physics properties. Prerequisite: PHYS 126.
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours. A laboratory course involving experiments in mechanics, acoustics, heat, optics, electricity, and magnetism, electronics and atomic and nuclear physics. Prerequisite: PHYS 126.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1-4 hours. Topics vary from year to year and are designed especially for, but not limited to, non-science majors. Typical topics might be light and color, music and sound; or laboratory topics to include aspects of physics of interest to artists, musicians, photographers, environmentalists, etc. (Sufficient demand)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Schrodinger's theory of quantum mechanics with applications to atomic systems. Includes origin of the quantum theory, wave-particle duality, approximation methods, and time-dependent problems. Prerequisite: PHYS 226. (Alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
Continuation of Quantum Mechanics I. Focuses on the applications of quantum mechanics postulates to real systems. Time independent perturbation theory is developed as are nonperturbative techniques such as variational theory. These ideas are applied to real atoms, molecules, metals, etc. Time dependent perturbation is also constructed and applied to electrodynamics. Non relativistic quantum electrodynamics is then applied to realistic systems. Prerequisite: PHYS 401.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Statistical and Thermal Physics deals with the various aspects of macroscopic thermodynamics and describes these statistically in terms of the microstates of systems. Examples taken mainly from gaseous and solid systems. Prerequisite: PHYS 126, MATH 253. (Alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course makes more sophisticated use of the basic laws of mechanics and includes sections on rotating coordinate systems, orbits in inverse square law fields, the analysis of vibrating systems and waves, Lagrange's and Hamilton's equations, and an introduction to the topic of chaos. Prerequisites: MATH 271, PHYS 125 and PHYS 126. (Alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A study of electric and magnetic fields and their origins in free space as well as in materials. Includes an introduction to vector calculus, solutions to Laplace's equation, multipole expansions, and Maxwell's equations in differential and integral form. Prerequisites: PHYS 126, MATH 271. (Alternate years)
