GENERAL PHYSICS III

PREREQUISITE: PHYS1033 The third of a three-semester introduction to calculus-based physics. This course is devoted to the study of the two great theories that underlie almost all of modern physics, quantum theory and relativity theory. There is an emphasis on quantum mechanical description of semiconductor physics, which forms our modern electronics age (computers and electronic communication devices in general). A series of laboratory projects enables the student to retrace experimentally the development of modern physics.
