Presentation Transcript

  1. Department of Physics& Physical Science the Foundation of Pure Scienceand its Applications(Engineering & Technology)

  2. to do a Major in Physics • Verbal skills a. being precise b. being concise • Spatial visualization a. 3 space (vectors), 1 time b. density functions (in 3-d!) • Math: a. derivatives (generalized slope) b. integrals (generalized area) c. relating functions of derivatives

  3. Flexible upper-level requirements

  4. Areas of Emphasis • “Regular” Physics BS • Bio-Physics BS • Medical Physics BS • Applied Physics BS • Physics Teaching BA (with CoEd)

  5. Who Does This?

  6. What You Get Out of It • What You Put In • Models of Nature: making ↔ using math, computer, physical (scale)assume … ass/u/me → presume recognize limitations – tweak to fix • Practical Skills – construction & design toys: mechanical, electric, optic, thermal relating: geometry & functions & units cause → effect

  7. Students • Small classes • Cookouts with faculty – lunch chat sessions • Field tripsNASA/Goddard (DC), FermiLab (Chicago)Greenbank (WV), Orlando (FL), OakRidge (TN) • Internships, Summer Research (REU’s)

  8. Size Scales in Physical Reality ScaleObjectsTheorySub-Discipline • 10-15 m nucleus quarks nuclear • 10-10 m atoms quantum cond.mat. (chem) • 10-5 m I.C.’s electronics technology (bio) • 100m buildings classical engineering • 106 m planet classical geology • 1012 m star system gen.relativity plasma • 1018 m star cluster magnetism astronomy • 1021 m galaxy “dark matter” astrophysics • 1025m Universe “dark Energy” cosmology
