A laboratory course which explores the foundations of quantum physics through laboratory experiments. The experimental observations provide evidence for the quantization of energy levels and wave-particle duality. Students will also learn how to measure the charge of an electron. There will be five experiments and students will need 1.5 hours per experiment. For each experiment there will also be a 1 hour lecture. Weekly hours: 0.4 Lecture hours and 0.6 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): PHYS 252 Note: Students with credit for PHYS 251 or PHYS 253 may not take this course for credit.
