PHYS 3710:Modern Physics

4 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 4 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Grades of “C” or better in PHYS 2212 and PHYS 2212L
PHYS 3710 will present an introduction to the concepts and calculations involved in understanding the structure of matter and the world of the quantum. Students will explore the Planck theory of radiation and wave/particle duality. Students will also calculate Schrodinger equation solutions for simple potentials, and properties of the one-electron atom. Students will also study applications of quantum principles to atomic, molecular, and nuclear structure as time permits.
