PHY 215 - General Physics II

Institution:

Lehigh Carbon Community College

Subject:

Physics

Description:

This continuation of the calculus-based physics sequence includes an in-depth study of electricity and magnetism, waves, sound, and light, and selected topics in modern physics. Major topics studied in electricity and magnetism are Coulomb's Law; electric field and potential; capacitance; electric current, resistance, and electromotive force; direct current circuits and instruments; magnetic fields and forces; induce emf; inductance; alternating current circuits; and electromagnetic waves. The study of waves and sound includes the mathematical description of waves and acoustical phenomena. The study of light includes both geometric and physical optics. Special topics in modern physics include quanta, the nucleus, and nuclear decay and transformations. The laboratory supports the theory and provides a great range in experimental techniques. Computers are used for data acquisition and analysis when appropriate.
