Students may select an approved topic for study under the direction of a faculty member. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits.

Selected topics in physics and astronomy of special interest to teachers will be discussed. When the course is offered, a specific title with specific credits, the number of hours in lecture-discussion and laboratory will be announced. Lecture/discussion, two-four hours; laboratory, zero-four hours. May be repeated to a maximum of eight credits.

Second of two lecture and problem courses covering: the theory of electrostatic fields in the presence of conductors and dielectric materials, magnetic fields due to steady currents in the presence of magnetic materials, electromagnetic induction, and electromagnetic fields due to time-varying currents.

An intermediate-level laboratory course emphasizing quantum phenomena in atomic, solid state and nuclear systems. Laboratory techniques include optical spectroscopy, gamma-ray and particle detection, atomic and nuclear collisions, and interferometry. This course satisfies the Graduation Writing Requirement. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.

A continuation of PHY 520, introducing the quantum description of systems with spin, and approximation methods. Principles of quantum mechanics will be illustrated by their application to model systems selected from the fields of atomic, solid state, nuclear, and particle physics. Prereq: PHY 520.
