PHYS 2634: Physics III

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate the ability to clearly understand, define, discuss, apply, and perform critical calculations related to geometric optics, laws of geometric optics, interference of light waves, diffraction and polarization, image, formation, mirrors and lenses, Snell’s Law, diffraction grating, and polarization of light waves.
• Be clearly able to demonstrate the ability to discuss, define, understand, perform critical calculations related to Galileo relativity and Einstein’s relativity, Lorentz Transformation Theorem, relativistic form of Newton’s Laws, relativistic, mass, energy, time, and length, and general Theory of Relativity.
• Demonstrate the ability to clearly understand, define, discuss, and perform calculation related to molecular bonds, solid bonding, electrical conductivity in metals/insulators and semiconductors, and free electron theory of metals.
• Demonstrate the ability to clearly understand, define, discuss, state, and perform critical calculations related to blackbody radiation, photoelectric effect, Bohr’s model of an atom, uncertainty principle, quantum mechanics, atomic spectra, atomic models, quantum numbers, and atomic transition
• Demonstrate the ability to clearly understand, define, discuss, and perform calculations related to nuclei properties, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear forces, radioactivity, nuclear reaction, nuclear fission and fusion.
