Proposal for Graduation with Honors in Physics

چکیده
One of the interests of the Department of Physics and Optical Science at UNC Charlotte is the application of the natural properties of light to help answer questions regarding specific materials, and aid in the development of new technologies that advance modern science. In this research, we apply Mie Theory to answer questions about the nature of materials created right here in the UNC Charlotte lab. Mie’s solution is an infinite series of partial waves describing the scattering of light off particles larger than the wavelength of incident light. One certain parameter that influences the degree of scattering is n, the material’s index of refraction. We first attempt to calibrate Mie’s solution for the scattering of a diode laser incident upon a bare silicon dioxide fiber core with an index of refraction n that is known. Secondly, we attempt to determine Mie’s solution for the scattering off a Bragg fiber made of three different materials, where two index of refraction values are known, such that we may determine the third.

This study examines the academic performance, retention, and degree-completion rates of two groups of honors students, those who completed all their honors program requirements (honors completers; n = 30) versus those students who started off in honors programs but did not complete these program requirements (partial honors students; n = 82). These two sets of honors students are then compared ...
