Those who are enrolled in a dual degree program with the college must register for the lab-based version of this course, PHYS 151. Prerequisite: For engineering students whose course of study does not require a physics laboratory course. The topics of this calculus-based course are electric and magnetic fields Coulomb's, Gauss's, Ampere's, and Faraday's laws DC and AC circuits Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic radiation. General Physics: Electromagnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics Students with AP or Transfer Credit for PHYS 92 or PHYS 94 who complete PHYS 102 will thereby surrender the AP or Transfer Credit. Credit is awarded for only one of the following courses: PHYS 009, 102, 151, 171. Suggested for students in a pre-health program. Registration also required for Lecture (see below)Įlectromagnetism, Optics, and Modern PhysicsĪ continuation of PHYS 101 emphasizing an introduction to classical electricity and magnetism, light and optics, special relativity, the quantum theory of matter, and nuclear physics. General Physics: Mechanics, Heat and Sound Registration also required for Laboratory (see below) Students with AP or Transfer Credit for PHYS 91 or PHYS 93 who complete PHYS 101 will thereby surrender the AP or Transfer Credit. Credit is awarded for only one of the following courses: PHYS 008, PHYS 101, PHYS 150, or PHYS 170. Gen.Phys:Mech,Heat,Sound: Mechanics, Heat and SoundĪn introduction to the classical laws of motion, including kinematics, forces in nature, Newton's laws of motion, conservation of energy and momentum, fluid statics and dynamics, oscillations, and waves. Engineering students receive no credit for this course. This course is not recommended for physical-science majors or engineering students. Elementary algebra and geometry will be used. Topics include planets, satellites, small objects in the solar system, and extraterrestrial life stars, their evolution, and their final state as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes galaxies, quasars, large structures, background radiation, and big bang cosmology. A general survey, designed for the non-major, of the facts and theories of the astronomical universe, from solar system, to stars, to galaxies and cosmology.
