Modern Physics Laboratory
Corequisite: PHYS 235.
Modern physics experiments including electromagnetic waves (microwaves),
interferometry, spectroscopy, electron and quantum physics, and solid-state physics.
Outcomes: Students will gain hands on experience and familiarity with experiments from early modern physics, the ability to use spreadsheets and symbolic algebraic software for problem solving and data interpretation, and experience documenting and reporting results including historical background searches.
