PHY 223 — PHY 223
College Physics III This course uses a calculus-based problem solving approach to describe vibratory phenomena (waves, oscillators, complex response functions) and scattering (including diffraction) as applied to nanoscale materials and systems. The following topics are covered: electromagnetic waves, geometric optics, interference & diffraction phenomena, relativity and the Lorentz transformation, photons and matter waves, quantum mechanics, Schrodinger’s equation, spin angular momentum, density of energy states and conduction in solids materials, subatomic particles, nuclear fission and fusion, and radioactive dating.
