PHYS202

Introduces ideas of particle/wave duality that are central to understanding quantum mechanics, a major revolution in early 20th century physics. This course is identical to the second half of PHYS 205, and meets concurrently with it for the second 7 weeks of the semester. Students may not earn credit for both 202 and 205. Students are strongly encouraged to take either PHYS 202 or PHYS 205 before taking PHYS 309.
