PHY 3312 - Foundations of Modern Physics II

Credits: 4.00
This course continues to introduce student to some of the experimental and theoretical breakthroughs that laid the foundations of contemporary physics. We begin the course by studying statistical physics and cover topics such as Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac statistics. Other topics include atomic structure; Zeeman effect; spin-orbit coupling; molecular structure, bonding, rotation, and vibration; solid state physics, band theory, semi-conductors, superconductivity, and lasers; nuclear structures, models, fusion, and fission; and the standard model of elementary particle physics and beyond.
