Purpose and Content

The aim of the course	The purpose of PHY 212 is to provide instruction for the students to grasp the essence of the modern physics topics as relativity, quantum physics and atomic structure, bonding in solids, atomic nucleus and radioactivity. The students will be aware of the importance of these topics and their applications profoundly effecting human life. The students will develop conceptual and quantitative understanding of the modern physics concepts and gain skills for problem solving. The basic method of study will be to define the concepts, discuss and demonstrate the principles and laws, and to test and refine understanding by problem solving.
Course Content	Review of modern physics, the conservation law, wave motion, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, Maxwell’s equations, foundations of modern physics, discovery of x-rays and electron, principle of relativity, introduction to quantum physics, black body radiation, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, wave – particle duality, the uncertainty principle, the Schrödinger equation, particle in a well, tunneling, atomic structure, quantum numbers, bonding in solids, free electron theory of metals, band theory of solids, semi conductivity and applications, nuclear physics, radioactivity, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion.
