Description

This course is designed for Physics majors and all students taking an Advanced Science program that includes Physics. Physics1241 is the 'companion' course to PHYS1231 Higher Physics 1A, available in S1. The four topics covered in PHYS1241 are: (i) Quantum physics, (ii) A.C. circuit theory, (iii) Solar system astrophysics and (iv) Special relativity. Students taking PHYS1241 can choose the standard Higher Physics 1B laboratory program (HPW2) or, alternatively, may select a research project, supervised by a member of Physics' academic staff, totalling approximately 20 hours for the session.
