The laboratory includes both quantitative and qualitative experiments which enable students to verify, illustrate, and deduce some of the Laws of Physics that apply to the topics covered. Student Learning Outcome(s): 1. The student will analyze and solve given problem(s) related to a variety of physical systems and situations such as mechanical waves, geometric optics, special relativity, quantum mechanics and atomic physics. 2. The student will conduct experiments involving the principles of Physics, analyze data, and report results. Scope: This is the third semester calculus based Physics for Engineers and Scientists. It is focused on the study of Light Optics, the Theory of Special relativity and Modern Physics, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics Atomic and Nuclear Physics. Objectives. To acquire an understanding of Mechanical waves, Electromagnetic waves, Maxwell’s equations, the principles of optics. To understand the Special Theory of Relativity, time contraction and dilation as well as E=mc2. To understand the principles of Quantum Mechanics applied to the atom and the nucleus. To understand radioactivity and its applications. Learning outcomes At the end of this course the student will have theoretical and experimental knowledge of the properties of mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and the electromagnetic spectrum and atomic spectra. The student will accomplish detailed knowledge of Maxwell’s equations of Electromagnetism. The student will accomplish a detailed knowledge of the principles of optics, microscopes and telescopes and the basic concepts of the Theory of Relativity. The student will have operational theoretical and experimental knowledge of Quantum Physics, atomic spectra and the properties of atoms as well as properties and behavior of atomic nuclei and phenomena such as radioactivity and its applications.

Course content Selected chapters from the textbook 15, 16 and 17 33 to 46 Please note: You are expected to submit all of your work in a spiral bound folder, as you walk in to take the final exam. Field trip: We also plan to take a tour of USC. We plan to take the class to the solar cell manufacturing plant at Camarillo for a tour of the facilities Possible visit to the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant We plan a field trip visit to NASA facilities at JPL The basic formula for my teaching-learning philosophy in all of my classes is: APLA. A positive learning attitude at all times 24/7 Problem solving approach to all of your work Perseverance. Keep trying until you succeed. Quality, Quality in all the work you do APLA + Problem Solving + Perseverance + Quality = Success And apply the SMART method to all of your projects: S: Specific M Work with a method A Specify action items and the specific goals to achieve R be result oriented T Specify a timetable and timely work and activities for the project I encourage you to apply yourself and do your best Mars exploration with robots Applying Physics to the robotic exploration of the Solar System Lab Experiments as Described in the Lab Manual Rules and regulations: All students are expected to follow all the College rules of student conduct including all the rules and regulations regarding exams. Attendance policy: Students are expected to attend every class meeting, to arrive on time and stay throughout the class period. Students may be dropped from class for excessive absences or tardiness, for failure to attend class the first day or during the entire first week of the class, or if the total number of absences exceeds twice the number of hours the class meets per week Academic integrity policy: Violations of academic integrity of any type by a student provide grounds for disciplinary action by the instructor or college. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to, the following actions: cheating on an exam, plagiarism, working together on an assignment, paper or project when the instructor has specifically stated students should not do so, submitting the same term paper to more than one instructor, or allowing another individual to assume one’s identity for the purpose of enhancing one’s grade. For more information on the Standards of Student Conduct refer to the college catalog available in hardcopy and online at www.lattc.edu First assignment Write a one – page essay on Professional Ethics Title: What is meant by professional Ethics?
