| PHYS 12 | INTRODUCTION TO MODERN PHYSICS | 5 Units | ||||
| Non-mathematical introduction to the ideas of modern physics designed for those not majoring in the physical sciences. After a brief introduction to the history and ideas of physics in general, the course focuses on three areas of modern physics which have revolutionized our understanding of nature: thermodynamics and the concept of entropy, Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, and quantum mechanics. The key ideas in these areas are explained using demonstrations, analogies, and examples drawn, whenever possible, from the student's own experience. We also examine (briefly) the impact these physics ideas have had on other fields, such as poetry, literature and music. No background in science or math is assumed. | ||||||
| 5 hours lecture. (60 hours total per quarter.) | ||||||
