  • PHYS 302: Optics

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    Modern and classical optics at an intermediate level. Ray optics is introduced first, with applications of reflection and refraction ranging from spherical surfaces to optical instrumentation. Topics in wave optics include wave motion and superposition. Fresnel equations, interference and interferometry, Fraunhoffer and Fresnel diffration. Time permitting, elements of Fourier optics or other selected advanced topics may be included. Lecture (three hours). Prerequisites: MATH 116 and a C or better in PHYS 212. Corequisite: PHYS 312. Fall.

  • PHYS 306: Applied Electronics

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    This course seeks to combine a treatment of the principles of modern electronic instrumentation with practical laboratory experience. Topics which will be included are: passive and active electronic components, electronic measuring instruments, power supplies, amplification, feedback and control, linear and digital devices. Emphasis will be on understanding instrumentation rather than on advanced principles of design. Prerequisites: C or better in PHYS 202 and 202L. Offered infrequently.

  • PHYS 332: Analog Electronics

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    An introduction to the fundamental principles of analog circuit analysis and design: direct current circuits and alternating current circuits containing passive and active discrete components (e.g. resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transformers, transistors, etc.), semiconductor devices (e.g. diodes), integrated components (e.g. operational amplifiers), and non-linear circuits. Standard testing equipment (e.g., multimeter, function generator, oscilloscope, etc.) is integrated into a practical laboratory setting. Lecture (two hours) and laboratory (three hours). Prerequisites: C or better in PHYS 212, or C or better in PHYS 202 and the consent of the instructor. Fall.

  • PHYS 350: Theoretical Methods in Sci

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    A variety of theoretical methods that are useful for general problem-solving in advanced science and engineering courses: complex numbers and functions of a complex variable, Fourier series and transforms, Laplace transforms, Legendre, Laguerre and Hermite polynomials, calculus of variations, special functions and tensor analysis. Lecture (three hours). Prerequisite: MATH 215. Co-requisites: MATH 310 and MATH 314. Spring.

  • PHYS 361: Mechanics

    4.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    An intermediate level theoretical classical mechanics course involving concepts and problems that require the mathematical tools of vectors, calculus, and matrices. A good calculus background is indispensable. The topics normally covered are: oscillations, the motion of a particle in 3-dimensions, vector calculus, central force systems, dynamics of many particles, transformation to the center-of-mass system, collisions, rigid-body motion, noninertial systems, and the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of mechanics.

  • PHYS 364: Modern Physics Lab

    1.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    Experiments demonstrating principles and applications of quantum physics. Students have the opportunity to reproduce historically crucial experiments such as the photoelectric effect, the Franck-Hertz experiment and the Millikan oil-drop experiment, and to experiment with nuclear decay, superconductivity and pulsed nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectrometry. Laboratory (three hours). Prerequisites: PHYS C or better in 212, and PHYS 212L. Spring.
