Advanced Physics

  • Software Engineering |

Description

The course is an advanced level physics course that gives the student the chance to absorb waves with its various properties of reflection, refraction, diffraction, attenuation, resonance, superposition and standing waves. It also allows a hand-on experience with the nature of light through experiments that would help students realize concepts such as blackbody radiation, X-rays and LASERs
