1. Course Desc<x>ription (課程說明)
<br>This course will introduce students to two pillars of modern physics: Einstein's Special Theory of 
<br>Relativity and Quantum Physics. Both of them discovered during the first 25 years of the twentieth 
<br>century. Relativity was first proposed by Albert Einstein. It provides a precise and well-tested 
<br>desc<x>ription of nature for motions at or near the limiting speed of light. Student will learn basic 
<br>principles and concepts of relativity and will develop physical intuition for high speed physical 
<br>phenomena. The second, quantum theory, was the work of many physicists, including Bohr, Einstein, 
<br>Heisenberg, Schrodinger, and others. Just as relativity can be roughly characterized as the study of 
<br>phenomena involving high speeds, so quantum theory can be described as the study of phenomena 
<br>involving small ob<x>jects (e.g., atomic size or smaller). It thereby provides concepts for understanding 
<br>the microscopic world. Students will learn basic principles of quantum mechanics, such as the wave-
<br>particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and working equation (Schrodinger equation) for its 
<br>application in a variety of simple application, such as Energy Levels of Electrons in a Solid, 
<br>Semiconductors, The pn junction Diode, atom, molecules and others.

<br>近代物理這門課將介紹兩個重要課題:(狹義)相對論和量子物理,這兩個物理學觀 念是二十世紀初期建立發展出來
<br>的,愛因斯坦是第一個位提出相對論的物理學家, 他解釋了物體在超高速移動下(接近光速下),不同座標系上的物理
<br>量關係,這個 理論的準確性已經經過一個世紀的驗證。學生在這門課將學習到相對論的基本概念。 第二要介紹
<br>的重要物理觀念是量子物理,這個理論是二十世紀初期,波爾、愛因斯 坦、海森堡、薛丁格、和其他物理學家架
<br>構起來的,這個理論解釋了微小世界的物 理現象(量子或是更小尺寸等級物理),學生將在這堂可中學習量子的觀
<br>念、波粒兩 向性、測不准原理、薛丁格方程式和在量子物理在固態、半導體、原子、分子上的 延伸應用。
