Quantum+Mechanics+and+Relativity

=Revolutions in Modern Physics: Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity=

//Key Concepts//
By the end of this course, students will: • analyse, with reference to quantum mechanics and relativity, how the introduction of new conceptual models and theories can influence and/or change scientific thought and lead to the development of new technologies; • investigate special relativity and quantum mechanics, and solve related problems; • demonstrate an understanding of the evidence that supports the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of special relativity.
