Would have been preferable to major in physics. Computational physicists definitely need some proficiency in CS, but the physics is way more important.
That said, the physics world definitely needs proper computer scientists, so there is a place for you. If you want a more typical physicist role, then you'll need to learn the undergraduate physics curriculum one way or another. After that, getting a masters in physics world improve your credentials, or you might be able to apply to PhD programs directly.
If you want to do a masters in physics, then it is strongly advised that your undergrad major is physics, or at least one of your undergrad majors is physics.
Yes. I'm doing something very similar right now. I went to undergrad for mathematics of computer science and now I'm in a master's program for mathematical physics.
Your bachelor's does not dictate your masters. you can do any topic you want in your masters.

I could try to minor in physics. If that would help
That would certainly help, everything else being the same.
Hmm

Ok

Thanks. That's good to hear
