Physics for Non-Science Majors: Strengthening the Laboratory Component at St. Lawrence University

圣劳伦斯大学物理系正在为非理科专业的学生开设一门物理课程，提供现代物理实验室实验。《光与物质、波与粒子》这门课的重点是波与粒子的二元性。该设备补充了现有的实验室能力，并允许进行演示微波光学、光电效应以及电子的波和粒子性质的实验。通过这种方式，该系使文科学生有可能对20世纪物理学提出的一些基本问题有所了解。这所大学将用等额的资金来匹配这笔奖金。

The Physics Department at St. Lawrence University is offering modern physics laboratory experiments in a physics course for non- science majors. The course--"Light and Matter, Waves and Particles"--focuses on the wave-particle duality. The equipment complements existing laboratory capabilities and allows for experiments demonstrating microwave optics, the photoelectric effect, and the wave and particle nature of the electron. In this way the department is making it possible for liberal arts students to develop an understanding of some of the fundamental questions raised by twentieth-century physics. The university will match the award with an equal amount of funds.//
