SMFT 647 Determination of the Structure of Matter: Analytical Tools Employed Across the Science Curriculum (3)

The interaction of matter and light allows chemists, physicists, biologists, astronomers and geologists to study the nature of matter. This course will investigate the application of absorption and emission spectroscopy across a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum, X-ray crystallography, laser technology and remote sensing developments to explore the nature of matter from the atomic level to galaxies. Each topic introduced will be related to the 9-12th curriculum and to the South Carolina standards.
