Pre-requisite: 65017
Pre-requisite: 2nd level Physics
Three topics are offered and may be selected from Microwave Applications, Geophysics, UV Radiation, Astrophysics 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 Tensors.
