Syllabus: | This unit begins with an introduction to AC and DC circuits, basic circuit components, and their applications. The course then explores two pillars of modern physics: quantum mechanics and relativity. The study of quantum mechanics beings with its origins in the photoelectric effect and leads up to the time independent solution of Schrodinger's wave equation. An introduction to both general and special relativity is included. This course includes a laboratory component which will involve experiments and computer simulations that are linked to the lecture material and will give students experience and understanding in measurement and uncertainties, physical data analysis and report writing. |
