PHY 2710
Analytical Physics II
Students continue their investigation into physical phenomenon by focusing on electric and magnetic interactions and the structure of matter. Students will develop an understanding of Maxwell's equations from a detailed treatment of the laws of Coulomb, Ampere, and Faraday. They will use an investigative approach to get an intuitive understanding of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged matter. Students will use vector calculus concepts such as line and surface integrals and will become familiar with the operation of meters and computer based data acquisition devises. Students will also study geometric and physical optics. The course will end with perplexing problems of noncovariance of the electromagnetic theory of Maxwell. The answers to these questions lead to the study of modern physics topics. Prerequisite: PHY 1710; Prerequisite/Corequisite: MAT 2650. J fall.
