Modern Physics II (Physics 304) Fall 2010
Physics 304 is the second semester of a course in
modern or quantum physics for students of physics, math, sciences and
engineering. Basic principles mastered in Physics
303 will be applied to the physics of atoms, molecules,
solids, nuclei and
elementary particles. The course will closely follow the second
half of the text by Randy Harris, starting at chapter 8. Physics 303 and
304 are required for physics majors but provide an excellent
introduction to quantum physics and applications for other
students. Feel free to contact me
for more information.
