A new course, Phys-211 will begin as of this semester, Spring-2009. The registration to the course will be done during the add-drop period. The course schedule yet to be be determined. If interested please attend the first meeting on Tuesday February 17, at 9:40 at FENS-L061.

The aim of the course is to provide introduction to the core concepts of modern physics that have extensive applications in science and engineering. Topics listed below will be covered through simple, intuitive explanations and uncomplicated mathematics.

Special relativity. Historical experiments and theoretical foundations in quantum mechanics. Quantum theory of light, blackbody radiation, photoelectric effect, Compton effect. Bohr model of atoms, Frank Hertz experiment. De Broglie waves, the wave particle duality, uncertainty principle. The Schrödinger equation. Tunneling phenomena. Quantization of angular momentum, electron spin. Pauli exclusion principle. Fundamentals of statistical physics, Maxwell Boltzmann distribution, indistinguishability and quantum statistics. Selected topics from atomic and solid state physics, complex systems. The course includes demonstration experiments in which the students are involved in performing as well the data analysis.
