Overview

The course is one of the compulsory specialization courses for students in the physics program and the course aims to qualify students theoretically and practically so that they can continue their higher studies on the one hand and play a distinguished role in research, and qualify students theoretically and practically and work in scientific and industrial institutions, the importance of modern physics lies in that it has entered into all fields such as (X-rays, detection of cancerous tumors, magnetic resonance and others), The student also learns the most important concepts and basic principles of the theory of special and general relativity, as well as atomic models, finding the radii of orbits, as well as understanding the subject of X-rays, which qualifies them to work and research in all fields.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing this course, the student will be able to understand the theory of special and general relativity, and be able to know the development of the idea of the atom and atomic models, as well as know and determine the Bohr model of the radii of the orbitals, find their energy levels, distinguish between the types of chains and atomic transitions, and know the importance of X-ray detection and its applications in the medical and industrial fields, and also enable the student to analyze reality and phenomena from a physical perspective. Students are also provided with some skills about devices of their types, shapes and method of operation that make them familiar with the most important topics that they may face in daily life, relativity, X-rays and atomic electronic structure and these topics that make the student familiar with the atom, its structure and importance, as well as teaching and teaching students all the necessary information and necessary for modern physics, which qualifies them to work and research in all fields

Teaching and learning methods

The teaching of the course is based on theoretical explanation and clarification using the regular board and calligrapher

Methods of assessments

The grade of the semester work represents 40% of the final total and is divided by 30% for the written midterm exams, 10% for assignments and short tests, and the remaining 60% for the final exam
