Modern Physics II (Physics 304)  Fall 2012


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 understand 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 with chapter 8.   Physics 303 and 304 are required for physics majors but provide an excellent introduction to quantum physics and applications for other science and engineering students.  Feel free to contact me for more information.
