Associated Term: Fall 2015
Levels: Undergraduate, Graduate, Professional West Lafayette Campus Lecture Schedule Type Learning Outcomes: Description The course covers the physics of electromagnetic waves, potential and fields, radiation and electrodynamics, and relativity. Topics range from electromagnetic waves in material and wave guides (“coax cable”), to potentials and fields where we will see first indications of issues in classical physics, to radiation and what we can do with that (“synchrotron radiation, accelerators”) and finally to special relativity. The latter showing one of the great principles of physics: unification of fundamental forces. Applications of the physics of electrodynamics will be given whenever applicable. We will start the lecture with a quick review session on the previous lecture 430. Contact, Location, Textbook Prof. Jung (anjung@purdue.edu) Office: PHYS 374 Phone: 765-496-5399 (office) Office Hours: T (2PM – 3PM), or just come to my office anytime Textbooks: Griffiths D.J. “Introduction to Electrodynamics” Lecture: M,W 11:30 p.m. – 12:20 p.m. Room 331 PHYS Required Materials: Attendance at lecture is required. It is assumed and of advantage that the reading of the textbook for the class is completed prior to the lecture - this allows to discuss your questions regarding the topic at hand. Relevant sections will be announced in the lectures, no reading required for the first lecture. Technical Requirements: Homework: Homework assignments will be posted on the day of the lecture via black board and are to be turned in the date they are due. No homework will be accepted late. At most one homework assignment will be dropped when computing the final grade if it is to the student’s advantage. Homework solutions must include complete, legible explanations of your work. It must be easy for the reader to follow your reasoning. If it takes the grader longer to figure out your reasoning than it took you to write out your solution, something is wrong! Exams: There will be a midterm exam and a final exam during finals week, dates to be announced. The final exam will be comprehensive, but focus primarily on the last half of the course. Grading: The final letter grade for the course will be determined based on the following: Homework – 40% Midterm – 30% Final exam – 30% Part of the grade on the homework will be assigned to the clarity of the solution. Academic integrity: Incidents of academic misconduct in this course will be addressed by the course instructor and referred to the OSRR for review at the university level. Any violation of course policies as it related to academic integrity will result minimally in a failing or zero grade for that particular assignment, and at the instructor’s discretion may result in a failing grade for the course. In addition, all incidents of academic misconduct will be forwarded to the OSRR, where university penalties, including removal from the university, may be considered. View Catalog Entry
