This course will be used to do an in depth study of problem solving and modeling as it applies to various physical situations in nature.
Topics include wave-particle duality, state functions and their usefulness, the Schrodinger equation, uncertainty principle, expectation values of observables and applications of quantum physics to one dimensional system.
Topics include crystal structure, crystal binding, lattice vibrations, thermal and electrical properties of solids, the Fermi gas, band theory of solids, conductors and semiconductors, superconductivity, magnetic properties, and crystal defects.
Topics include nuclear structure and models, nuclear transitions and decay, nuclear reactions, radiation detection, natural radioactivity and elementary particles.
A laboratory course involving individual research on a specialized problem in physics.
Topics in the field of physics that are of current interest will be selected for in-depth study. The course content will normally change each time the course is offered. The course may be repeated for credit provided that the same topic is not repeated.
A course consisting of readings and discussion in physics required of all liberal arts students in physics.
Supervised, practical work experience in laboratory and/or field situations. Semester hour credit will be based upon the proposal and scheduled clock hours, but a maximum of 4 credits may be applied toward Arts and Sciences electives.
