This is the final report on my modern physics class from last term, covering the last week of classes, which generally deal with nuclear and particle physics. This was actually three-and-a-bit classes, because I lost one class to a nasty cold a few weeks earlier, and used part of the lab period to make up… Continue reading Course Report: Nuclei and Particles in 3+1 Classes

Course Report: Solid State Physics in Three Classes
In the last course report post, we dispensed of atomic and molecular physics in just three classes. The next three classes do the same for solid state physics. Class 25 picks up on the idea of basic molecular potentials from the end of the previous class, and uses that to introduce energy bands in a… Continue reading Course Report: Solid State Physics in Three Classes
Course Report: Atoms and Molecules in Three Classes
I got way behind on my reports from my Modern Physics class– the last one was over month ago, and the class has since ended. There’s enough material left to be really awkward as a single post, though, so I’m going to take my cue from Brandon Sanderson and split it into three parts. The… Continue reading Course Report: Atoms and Molecules in Three Classes
