The physics department is not one of the “well-known” Hopkins departments but is probably one of the best majors at Hopkins. The faculty members are very good with taking on undergrads for research. Some of my friends’ favorite professors are physics professors (Petar, for instance, who I think is now teaching both Classical Mechanics and E&M, and Melnikov although he teaches third-year E&M). Each year, quite a few physics majors apply to, and attend Ph.D. programs in physics. Just this year alone, they’re sending people to MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Duke, and JHU. Last year they sent someone to Chicago, and before that Stanford.
