-
3.00 Credits
A study of the structure of the Sun, and the physical phenomena (such as sunquakes, eclipses, sunspots, flares, prominences) that take place in its interior and near the surface.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental physical characteristics, fluid statics; kinematics; flow of incompressible, compressible, and real fluids. Theory of models as applied to physical systems and development of several models of fluids.
-
3.00 Credits
An upper level quantum mechanics course for students who have completed the physics core. The course begins with the postulates of quantum mechanics, continues with a detailed discussion of one-dimensional problems, and ends with a rigorous treatment of the hydrogen atom. Computer techniques are used where appropriate.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of PHY411. Spin, angular momentum, WKB methods, perturbation theory, scattering theory, Dirac equation.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic laws of thermodynamics. Conditions of equilibrium equations of state, Euler equation. Gibbs-Duhem relations, thermodynamic potentials, and the Nernst Theorem.
-
2.00 Credits
Selected experiments (5-8) picked from various areas -- mechanics, optics, quantum mechanics, electronics, fluid mechanics, solid state physics, and nuclear physics. Emphasis on individual work.
-
3.00 Credits

Metals: Free electron theory, band theory,superconductivity. Semiconductors: Fermi-Dirac Statistics, transport, band shapes, p-n junction, electronic devices.
-
3.00 Credits
Elementary quantum mechanics applied to multielectron atoms, identical particles, magnetic effects and nuclear systems. Quantum nature of elementary particles. Selections from quantum statistics, solid state physics, superconductivity and magnetic properties of solids according to class interest.
-
3.00 Credits
