General Course Purpose

PHY 244 explores the experiments that advanced physics during the first half of the twentieth century. The fundamental physics underlying and permitting these experiments will be presented, discussed, and modeled. This laboratory course is a supplement to the PHY 243 Modern Physics course, the third of the three-semester calculus-based physics sequence.
