PHYS 102 - Physics II

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

PHYSICS

Description:

Vibration and wave motion, geometric and physical optics, electricity and magnetism. Algebra based. Course Objectives (1) Calculate parameters associated with wave motion, e.g., amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength, speed (2) Calculate the speed of wave in different media (3) Calculate the change in frequency and wavelength due to Doppler effect (4) Display the positions of nodes and antinodes in stationary waves and calculate the frequencies and wavelengths in different modes of vibration (5) Calculate the electric force (magnitude and direction) between charges and calculate electric field due to simple distribution of charges (6) Calculate electric potential due to simple distribution of charges (7) Apply conservation of energy to solve problems involving electric forces (8) Solve problems involving capacitance, charge, and electric field (9) Analyze circuits containing batteries, resistors, and capacitors (10) Calculate the magnetic force (magnitude and direction) on currents and moving charges (11) Calculate induced emf due to changing magnetic flux and calculate mutual inductance and self inductance (12) Solve problems involving reflection of light from plane and spherical mirrors (13) Solve problems involving refraction of light due to a change of medium (14) Solve problems involving image formation by lenses (15) Solve problems involving diffraction and interference of light
