Units 1.0 (Physics) Band 2

Pre-requisite: (MAT1100 or MAT1102) and (PHY1103 or PHY1104 or PHY1911)

Synopsis

This course discusses topics necessary for the student to gain an understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter. The concepts studied are related to the structure and properties of both the atom and the nucleus. A range of current applications are discussed in order to clarify and support the theories. A series of compulsory practical exercises are undertaken to demonstrate the principles involved.
