Purpose of class

Student can involve in the modern physics experiment so that they can observe the phenomena based on the fundamental in modern physics, and can be more prepared for the research based learning in IGP.

Course description

Modern Physics course review the physical law invented from the early 20th century where some of classical physics law breaks down. This course mainly consist of two parts. The first part includes the introductory of quantum physics, condensed matter physics, superconductivity physics. Then, student can involve in the real experimental site and and learn how to make and utilize it into some applications in the daily life. The second section delves into applied fields, including laser physics, Fourier optics, electronics, and sensors, with a focus on hands-on applications. Students will learn to design and analyze sensor-based circuits, study optical phenomena, and integrate these principles into real-world technologies, preparing them to apply modern physics concepts in everyday life and emerging industries.

Goals and objectives

Student can learn the application based on the fundamental in modern physics
Student can learn the process of creating high-temperature superconducting magnet and verified the Meissner effect, pinning effect, and observe the importance of supermagnet towards room temperature
Student can learn the process of creating organic superconducting crystal for the future of green technology
Students will have hands-on experience in conducting optical experiments understanding the basics of Phenomena, Diffraction and interference and their applications.
Students will use Analog Discovery 2, a learning kit to understand the basic of analog circuit, analyse the circuit and design their own circuits for making measurements with Wheat stone bridge, sensor circuits using Operation amplifier.
