Required of all physics majors and minors; open to others as an elective. A continuation of the 221/222 physics sequence. The course material covers a selection of topics from twentieth century physics. It progresses from Maxwell equations, propagation of electromagnetic waves, and the wave theory of light to the elements of special relativity, early quantum theory of radiation, then to the principles of quantum mechanics. It discusses the fundamental experiments in modern physics and the principal discoveries in the area of atomic, solid state, nuclear and elementary-particle physics.
-
3.00 Credits
This is the third term of the Calculus based physics sequence. Oscillations, waves, sound, light, and Maxwell's equations are covered.
-
1.00 Credits
Supplementary introductory physics course designed to address the needs of students majoring in sciences and to prepare them for upper-division physics courses in mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism, and the conduction of research.
-
3.00 Credits
The flight of heavier than air vehicles is a wonder and a marvelous application of the principles of physics. This course is an introduction to the theory and application of aerodynamics, the study of air in motion. It provides an introduction to the physical principles of flight. The primary goals are to acquire an understanding of the basic principles, elementary models, and applications of aerodynamics as they apply to the study of heavier than air flight. Students who have a knowledge of algebra have the prerequisites for the level at which this course is taught. Students who want to understand how planes fly or who have a desire to be a pilot will find this course useful.

3.00 Credits
Meteorology is the science of weather and climate. The material covered will include a study of the pressure, temperature, and density profiles of the atmosphere and the development of temperature, pressure, and moisture variances from the standard atmosphere. Winds, clouds, and temperature changes will be studied. Rain, snow, fog, storms, the jet stream, optical effects, and their application to flight will be addressed. There are no explicit prerequisites, but knowledge of basic algebra is needed.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of extreme and hazardous weather and the unusual climate phenomena that alter weather patterns. Students will investigate the composition, characteristics, and processes in the atmosphere, which can lead to severe weather events, such as heat waves, cold spells, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and lightning. Climate variability and change, which alter the frequency and severity of these weather hazards will also be explored.

1.00 Credits
These laboratories are designed to correlate with the lecture material in PHYS 203 and PHYS 204, respectively. The experiments are designed to illustrate and emphasize the physical phenomena discussed in the corresponding lecture courses. Laboratory reports stress competencies in writing and quantitative skills..
