The Laser (Physics of Technology Series)

A module on modern optics and quantum mechanics. Covers a variety of topics in optics and modern physics, including wave and particle models of light, interference, coherence, atomic models, energy levels, and the interaction between light and matter. Prerequisites are wave motion, mechanical energy, electric charge, voltage, and thermal radiation. Either THE GUITAR or THE LOUDSPEAKER and either THE INCANDESCENT LAMP or THE FLUORESCENT LAMP will provide most of the prerequisites. This is an advanced module which may require more than three weeks of study for some students. Part of the Physics of Technology program, a 27-module introduction to physics at a pre-calculus level. The American Institute of Physics coordinated this program in the 1970s, with modules created by Florissant Valley Community College, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, the State University of New York at Binghamton, and TERC. From the Instructor’s Manual : The Laser module covers the physics concepts, definitions, and principles of light and its interaction with matter. The module emphasizes the following concepts: light sources, mono chromaticity, spatial and temporal coherence , spontaneous and stimulated em
