3.00 Credits
A continuation of PHYS 141 which treats electricity, magnetism, wave motion and optics. Prerequisite: PHYS 141 and 141L or advanced placement by permission of the Chair of the Department, MATH 132 or concurrent registration. This course along with PHYS 142L may be used in fulfillment of the Natural Science component of the General Education Requirements.
Prerequisite:
PHYS-141 AND PHYS-141L
Corequisite:
PHYS-142L AND MATH-132
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory experiments test and illustrate fundamental physics concepts and laws closely related to those studied in PHYS 142. Emphasis is placed on the development of laboratory skills in physics. Prerequisite: PHYS 141L. Prerequisite or concurrent registration: PHYS 142. Not open to students who have taken PHYS 112L.
Prerequisite:
PHYS-141L
Corequisite:
PHYS-142
-
3.00 Credits
A study of classical mechanics, including static and dynamic systems, for students of physics, engineering, chemistry, and meteorology. The pace of this course and the subject matter will be similar to that in PHYS 141. However, students are assumed to be proficient in differential and integral calculus at the outset, and applications of calculus are made throughout the course. This course along with PHYS 141L may be used in fulfillment of the Natural Science component of the General Education Requirements. Prerequisite: MATH 132 or concurrent registration, equivalent AP credit, or the permission of the instructor.
Corequisite:
PHYS-141L AND MATH-132
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of PHYS 151 which treats electricity, magnetism, wave motion and optics. This course along with PHYS 142L may be used in fulfillment of the Natural Science component of the General Education Requirements. Prerequisite: PHYS 151 or consent of the instructor. Corequisite: MATH 132.
Prerequisite:
PHYS-151
Corequisite:
PHYS-142L AND MATH-132
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of various topics of current interest in physics. Prerequisites are dependent upon the topic. Interested students are urged to contact the instructor or Chair of the Department for specific information.
-
3.00 Credits
(Also offered as CE 215 or ME 215.) Concepts of stress and strain, stress-strain relationships, states of plane stress and strain at a point; elementary analysis of stress distributions and deformations for axial loading of prismatic members, torsional loading of circular shafts and bending of beams, combined loading; plastic elastic action, and an introduction to statically indeterminate problems. Prerequisite: GE 109.
Prerequisite:
MATH-132 AND PHYS-109
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the special theory of relativity, physics of the atom, the Schroedinger wave equation, physics of condensed matter, physics of the nucleus including radioactivity, and elementary particles. Prerequisites: PHYS 142 and MATH 132 (may be taken concurrently).
Prerequisite:
PHYS-142
Corequisite:
MATH-132
-
1.00 Credits
Selected experiments include both the measurement of fundamental constants such as the speed of light, Planck’s constant, the gravitational coupling constant, as well as investigations of fundamental physical processes. The further development of laboratory skills and methods of data analysis are emphasized, using advanced computer analysis and data acquisition techniques. Prerequisite: PHYS 142 and 142L. Normally offered in spring semesters.
Prerequisite:
PHYS-142 AND PHYS-142L
-
1.00 Credits
The study and application of various techniques employed in the reduction and analysis of laboratory data to include probability distributions, regressions, tests of goodness of fit, data smoothing and the methods for determining the errors of measured and fitted parameters. Extensive use of the computer is expected. Prerequisite: MATH 253.
Prerequisite:
MATH-253
-
3.00 Credits
The classical mechanics of particles, systems of particles and rigid bodies, utilizing analytical techniques of vectors and differential and integral calculus. Among the topics included are Newton’s laws of motion in one and three dimensions, conservation laws, harmonic oscillation, central force motion, scattering and an introduction to rigid body motion. Prerequisites: PHYS 142 and MATH 253 (may be taken concurrently).
