-
3.00 Credits
Physical Science. Special methods in the teaching of physical science.
-
3.00 Credits
A general education course for non-science majors. The methods, history, and philosophy of science are studied in the context of modern astronomy. Ideas are emphasized through periodic planetarium presentations as the course traces human understanding from prehistory to the edges of the known cosmos. Laboratory activities include outdoor observation sessions. No prerequisites are required.
-
3.00 Credits
Composition and resolution of forces; equilibrium of force systems; application of general laws of statics to engineering problems, including use of vector algebra, friction and force analyses of simple structures, cables, and machine elements; center of gravity; moments of inertia. Prerequisite: PHY 2234.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the solar system, stars, clusters, nebulae, gravitation, instrumentation, and the search for life beyond earth. Includes observation sessions and development of planetarium activities. Prerequisite: PHY 2034 or PHY 2234 or the equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed to develop a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of mechanics. Treating in detail such problems as the harmonic oscillator and the motion of a particle under a central force, Lagrange's Equation. Prerequisites: PHY 2234 or PHY 2034 and Calculus I.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the topics of modern physics, including relativity, atomic physics, quantum mechanics, condensed-matter physics, nuclear physics, and elementary particles. Prerequisite: PHY 2244.
-
3.00 Credits
Modern Physics Laboratory
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a study of the properties of electric and magnetic fields. Behavior of dielectrics, conductors, superconductors, diamagnetic materials, paramagnetic materials and ferromagnetic materials is considered. Theories of electromagnetic radiation based on Maxwell's Equations and Fermat's Principle are applied to explain optical phenomena such as scattering, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. Prerequisite: PHY 2244 or PHY 2044 and Calculus I.
-
3.00 Credits
Experiments in the principles of physics designed for the junior physics student. Experiments in modern physics, mechanics and optics. Corequisite: Registration in or completion of a 3000 or 4000 level physics course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the basic theory of geophysical instrumentation, data collection and reduction, and interpretation. The basic laws of physics are applied to study the internal characteristics of the earth such as geomagnetism, paleomagnetism, geogravity, earth tides, elastic waves, earthquake processes, and radioactivity.
