Physics 9HC: Introduction to Waves, Physical Optics, and Quantum Theory
Physics 9HC is the third in the "honors" introductory physics series. It starts by covering the general topic of waves, and applies the principles learned to the study of light (physical optics). The lines are then blurred between light and particles in the realm of the very small, resulting in an introduction to the quantum theory.
