Belmont College will improve and enhance the laboratory instruction             provided students in a modern physics course.  The students enrolled in         this course are physics majors and minors, pre-engineering majors,              chemistry majors, and mathematics majors.  The project will increase the        number and level of sophistication of the experiments conducted in this         course.  Students will be given greater opportunity for "hands-on"              experiences with the concepts and phenomena of modern physics.                                                                                                  Equipment items to be purchased include an alpha/beta spectrometer, an          X-ray spectrometer, and an electron spin resonance probe.  Experiments          that explore alpha particle energy spectra, beta particle energies, ESR         phenomena, and Zeeman effect studies will be added to the course.               Students will have a better understanding and appreciation of the               relationship of theory and experiment.  The result will be a more               balanced presentation of the concepts and phenomena of modern physics.
