DESCRIPTION
This module builds on content delivered in the general PH101 Physics course, given in First Year, to provide a more in-depth look at: (1) Thermodynamics based on classical physics. It includes topics such as temperature; heat, thermal properties of matter, and first and second laws of thermodynamics. (2) Atomic Physics and Nuclear Physics, with related introductions to quantum mechanics, light emission & propagation, and special relativity. The module will also consider some computational methods with applications to nuclear & thermodynamics problems;
Learning Outcomes 1. Define terms and explain concepts relating to the physical principles covered by this module's syllabus. 2. Describe the physical laws that connect terms and concepts covered by this module's syllabus and, where appropriate, derive the mathematical relationships between those terms and concepts. 3. Outline applications to real-world situations of the physical principles covered by this module's syllabus. 4. Analyze physical situations using concepts, laws and techniques learned in this module. 5. Identify and apply pertinent physics concepts, and appropriate mathematical techniques, to solve physics problems related to the content of this module's syllabus.
