Synopsis


Three topics are offered - Microwave Applications, Geophysics and Applied
Crystal Physics.  Each topic builds on some of the material in previous units
and provides examples of in-depth applications.

Microwave Applications will discuss the physics of Radar Remote Sensing,
Measurements in Materials Science and the operating principles of Radio
Telescopes and Weather Radar.

The Geophysics section will include topics in Seismology, Gravity, Magnetics,
and Electrical Properties.

Applied Crystal Physics will examine the variation of physical properties of
crystals with direction, and the description of these phenomena using sensors.
