Fall odd years. Prerequisite: PHYS 2114 and 2124. For physical science education majors. This course expands and refines essential content and laboratory skills through the modeling and experimental investigation of topics in both classical and modern physics. Will not satisfy the physics elective requirement for students majoring in physical science. Laboratory three hours. $10 laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
Spring even years. Prerequisite: PHYS 2124. Gauss's law, potential, Laplace's and Poisson's equations inrectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates, inductance, capacitance, moving charges, dielectric phenomena, and Maxwell's equations. Lecture three hours.
-
3.00 Credits
On demand. Prerequisite: PHYS 2124 or ELEG 2113. Amplifiers, power supplies, oscillators, trigger circuits, modulation, and demodulation. Intended to acquaint students with the working principles of the equipment they will use as a physicist. Lecture two hours, laboratory three hours. $10 laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
Fall odd years. Prerequisites: PHYS 2114, 2124; CHEM 2124. Corequisite: MATH 3243. An introduction to the physics governing the crystalline state of matter. Modern theories describing lattice vibrations, energy bands, crystal binding, and optical properties are presented. These ideas are then applied to the understanding of technologically important areas such as superconductivity, doped semiconductors, ferroelectric materials, and photorefractivity. Lecture 3 hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Spring odd years. Prerequisite: PHYS 2124. Introduction to relativity, wave-particle interactions, atomic structure, quantum mechanics, quantum theory of the hydrogen atom, statistical mechanics, nuclear structure, and elementary particles. Lecture 3 hours.
-
