New concepts of space and time leading to a complete revision of contemporary understanding of the universe will be studied. Student will explore the fascinating world of Modern Physics which contains many surprising results contrary to intuition. A basis to understand the physical nature of the materials involved in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and modern physics laws behind the modern engineering applications in our century will be established.
Special relativity, black body radiation, photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, Atomic models, Bohr quantization, De Broglie hypothesis, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Concept and interpretation of the wave function, Schrödinger’s equation: solutions of potential wells and tunneling through potential barriers, probability waves, new physics laws and quantum physics, quantization concept, wave mechanics, hydrogen atom and today’s modern engineering applications of modern physics laws.
