| Goals | Basis for quantum physics and mechanics, atomic and molecular physics, and solid state physics is formed through teaching the main approaches and concepts in modern physics |
| Course Content | Galileo’s theory of relativity, Einstein’s theory of relativity and its results, Situations at which classical physics start to be invalid and its reasons, Blackbody radiation, Photoelectric effect, Compton effect, Atomic spectrums, Atom models, Bohr atom model, Nature of photon |
| Learning Outcomes |
- Distinguishing the relativity theories of Galileo and Einstein - Explaining under which conditions classical physics is invalid with its reasons. - Stating the importance of physical phenomena such as black body radiation, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, etc. from the perspective of modern physics - Defining atom models and distinguish them - Defining photon. - Investigating the nature of photons and subatomic particles using the concepts of modern physics. |
