PHYS 3000K - Modern Physics

(4) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: PHYS 2212K ; or both MATH 2210  and PHYS 1112K  
An intermediate physics course that covers modern topics in physics such as relativity, basic quantum mechanics and their applications to, for example, atomic physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, solid-state physics, or cosmology.  Algebra, trigonometry, and differential and integral calculus will be routinely used.  Upon complete of this course students will be able to: 1) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of relativity; 2) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of basic quantum mechanics; 3) Apply quantum mechanics principles to the physics of the atom; 4) Apply quantum mechanics principles to nuclear and particle physics; 5) Apply quantum mechanics principles to condensed matter physics; 6) Effectively collect and present scientific data gathered through experiment; 7) Use computational and estimation skills to analyze data, construct and interpret charts, graphs, and tables, and compose scientific explanations.
