Understanding waves and quantum mechanics opens doors to a huge spectrum of physics problems through ideas such as diffraction and quantum tunnelling. We will perform experiments to understand how the properties of the electromagnetic spectrum enabled us to discover the structure of DNA alongside mathematical and conceptual explanations of quantum mechanics. Taught in the Cavendish Laboratory (2.2km, c.30 mins walk, or c.20mins bus/walk). Requires a knowledge of differential calculus, some integral calculus and fluency in high school level algebra and geometry.
