-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course consists of an independent creative or research project designed by the student and supervised by a physical science faculty member. The nature of the project, the schedule for accomplishment, and the means of evaluation must be formalized in a learning contract prior to registration. (See "Independent Study" under "AcademiPolicies" section.)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A variety of off-campus learning opportunities can be arranged through the director of internships. The off-campus internship is an individually designed experience that allows the student to explore the relationship between learning in the classroom and the practical application of knowledge in everyday work situations. Prerequisites: admission to the internship program and approval of the academic adviser and Natural Science Committee. (See "Internships"under "Academic Policies" section.) Credit/Nocredit grading.
-
3.00 Credits
An elementary presentation of concepts and principles of physics. Topics include mechanics, heat, sound, electricity and magnetism, light, relativity, and astronomy. Intended for the non-science major.
-
3.00 Credits
An elementary presentation of a topic in physics. Possible topics include light and color, sound, quantum world (molecules, atoms, atomic nuclei, and elementary particles), relativity, and cosmology.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles of physics not requiring calculus. Particle motion, Newton's laws, momentum, work and energy, gases and liquids, harmonic motion, and waves. Lecture and laboratory. This course satisfies the Core Curriculum Natural Sciences with Laboratory requirement, but it does not satisfy the degree requirements for majors in physics, natural science, and chemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
Harmonic motion, traveling wave, standing waves and sound, light and optics, electricity and magnetism. Lecture and laboratory. This course does not satisfy the degree requirements for majors in physics, natural science, and chemistry. Prerequisite: PHYS 121.
-
3.00 Credits
Mechanics of particle motion, rotational motion of a rigid body, simple harmonic motion, and thermodynamics. Lecture and laboratory. This course satisfies the Core Curriculum requirement in Natural Sciences with Laboratory. Formerly PHYS 221. Not open to students who have received credit for PHYS 221. Co-requisite: MATH 151.
-
4.00 Credits
Electrostatics, magnetostatics, DC circuits, geometrical and physical optics. Lecture and laboratory. Formerly PHYS 222. Not open to students who have received credit for PHYS 222. Prerequisite: PHYS 131. Co-requisite: MATH 152.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course consists of an independent creative or research project designed by the student and supervised by a physics faculty member. The nature of the project, the schedule for accomplishment, and the means of evaluation must be formalized in a learning contract prior to registration. (See "Independent Study" under"Academic Policies" section.)
-
3.00 Credits
Waves, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Topics include transverse and longitudinal waves, interference, wave/particle duality, the Bohr atom, the Schrodinger equation, time dilation/length contraction, and relativistic energy/momentum. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: PHYS 132.
