Overview
What you will study
The Introductory Modern Physics course provided by KTH Royal Institute of Technology will provide basic knowledge about the rules and laws that governs micro cosmos, i.e. about electrons, atoms, nuclei, and their interaction with electromagnetic radiation. The course will also show how these rules and laws can be used within technology and medicine.
The student will after the course know how to:- solve problems about the hydrogen atom concerning energies and wavelengths between obtained between energy levels
- explain and perform calculations on the Photoelectric effect and the Compton effect
- discuss quantum mechanical problems dealing with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle
- perform calculations on frequency conditions, mode structure of a laser and the laser medium
- perform simpler calculations with the Schrödinger equation
- do estimates of the Fermi function regarding energies in solids and explain the band model
- explain the phenomenon of nuclear decay and to perform calculations on half lifes
- explain and perform calculations on the Einstein’s energy relations and how to calculate fusion and fission energy production
- discuss the build-up of the elementary particles.
