Modern Physics Credit Hours: 3 hours An overview of "modern" physics developed in the last century. Topics include special relativity, particle-wave duality, matter waves, photon theory, the Schroedinger Equation and basic applications, and statistical mechanics. This course is preparatory for the upper-division physics curriculum, so it should be the first physics course taken by prospective majors after the Introductory Physics sequence. Offered spring semester every year. Prerequisites: (PHYS 1212-1212L or PHYS 1312-1312L) Prerequisite or Corequisite: MATH 2270 or MATH 2500 or MATH 3500 or MATH 3500H Semester Offered: Spring Level: Undergraduate
