3.00 Credits
Explores the physical processes that underlie the diversity of sound and musical phenomena. Topics covered include the physical nature of sound, the perception of sound, the perception of pitch and harmony, musical instruments, synthesizers and samplers, and room acoustics. Nonmathematical; geared toward nonscience majors. Meets MAPS requirement for natural science: chemistry or physics. Should not be taken by students with a math MAPS deficiency. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the roles of experiment in physics, using historical examples. Experiments provide a basis for scientific knowledge, test theories, call for new theories, give hints toward the mathematical form of theories, and provide evidence for the existence of entities involved in theories. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Includes various approaches to the philosophy of science and discusses the validity of experimental evidence and the relation of that evidence to theories of nature. These are illustrated using episodes from the history of physics. Prereq., high school algebra. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
5.00 Credits
Three demonstration lect., one two-hour lab/rec. week, plus three evening exams in the semester. Covers mechanics, heat, and sound. Elementary but thorough presentation of fundamental facts and principles of physics. Natural science majors with a knowledge of calculus and others taking calculus are urged to consider taking the calculus-based courses PHYS 1110, 1120, 1140, and 2130, rather than PHYS 2010 and PHYS 2020. This course is designed for premed students in the biological sciences. Prereq., ability to use high school algebra and trigonometry. Meets MAPS requirements for natural science. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
5.00 Credits
Three demonstration lect., one two-hour lab/rec. per week, plus three evening exams in the semester. Covers electricity and magnetism, light, and modern physics. Natural science majors with a knowledge of calculus and others taking calculus are urged to take the calculus--based courses PHYS 1110, 1120, 1140, and 2130, rather than PHYS 2010 and PHYS 2020. This course is designed for premed students and students in the biological sciences. Prereq., PHYS 2010. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Third semester of introductory sequence for science and engineering students except physics majors and those studying computer applications in physics (for these, see PHYS 2170). Covers special relativity, quantum theory, atomic physics, solid state, and nuclear physics. Physics majors should take PHYS 2170 instead of PHYS 2130. Prereqs., PHYS 1120, 1140, or ECEN 2250, 3400. Coreq., MATH 2400. Normally taken with PHYS 2150.
-
1.00 Credits
One lect., one 2-hour lab per week. Includes many experiments of modern physics, including atomic physics, solid state physics, electron diffraction, radioactivity, and quantum effects. Normally taken concurrently with PHYS 2130 or PHYS 2170 but students may take PHYS 2150 after taking PHYS 2130 or 2170. Prereqs., PHYS 1120 and 1140.
-
1.00 Credits
For students in Physics Plan 3 teaching track only. Students do another full set of PHYS 2150 experiments (seven different labs from those previously completed). Registration by special arrangements with the Department of Physics. Prereqs., PHYS 1120 and 1140. Same as PHYS 2150.
-
3.00 Credits
For physics majors in plans 1 and 2 and those studying computer applications in physics. Completes the three-semester sequence of general physics. Emphasizes developing skills for physics majors. Includes relativity, quantum mechanics, atomic structure. Normally taken with the laboratory PHYS 2150. Prereq., PHYS 1120. Coreq., MATH 2400 or APPM 2350.
-
3.00 Credits
Theoretical Newtonian mechanics, including position and velocity dependent forces, oscillation, stability, non-inertial frames and gravitation from extended bodies. Ordinary differential equations, vector algebra, curvilinear coordinates, complex numbers, and Fourier series will be introduced in the context of the mechanics. Prereqs., PHYS 2130 or 2710, MATH 2400 or APPM 2350. Coreq., APPM 2360. Credit not granted for this course and PHYS 2140.
