Quantum Physics For SERIOUS Beginners Series

In The Beginning There Was Light
Instructor:
Kwaku Eason
32 students enrolled
English [Auto]
The student will learn quantum physics from the ground up, along with using python to compute problems to aid in learning. This course is the first in a series, focusing on historical developments laying the foundations for the development of quantum mechanics (physics).

This course on Quantum Physics thoughtfully layouts a large amount of content in a series aimed to truly help create real experts in the field of quantum physics, whether its for your personal interest, academic support, research and development goals, or industrial applications, you will gain deep and correct understanding of several fundamental and new topics in quantum physics. This first part focuses on the historical significance of analyzing light, as well the the activities around discoveries of subatomic particles like the electron, proton, and neutron. This course also utilizes python to do virtual labs to analyse various topics more deeply.

Review Quiz

1. True or False: the history of studying light has nothing to do with quantum mechanics?

2. What is refraction?

3. Which incidence angle leads to the least amount of refraction? 15 deg, 10 deg, 5 deg, or 0 deg

4. Which subatomic particle was discovered first? proton, electron, or neutron?

5. Why did Thomson and team ALSO need to use the magnetic field in addition to the electric field to measure the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron?

6. Could an electric and/or magnetic field be used to measure the velocity of a neutron, as was done for the electron?

7. Explain why Hertz experimental electromagnetic wave generated in his lab was short lived, or why did the amplitude die out leaving a spark in its trace? Recall our model of Hertz experiment for help.

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
