1.00 Credits
Three hours per week (1 Credit). Co-requisite: PHY 125.

3.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of the Sun and its contingent of planets, moons, comets, and asteroids. Up-to-date details of the orbits, surfaces, atmospheres, and interior structures as deduced from telescopic and spacecraft data are discussed. The elementary physics of gravity, orbits, and distance measurement leads to a limited amount of problem solving. Six biweekly laboratory sessions and at least three nighttime observing sessions with telescopes. Requires only high school algebra and trigonometry. Offered: Fall semester Stark

3.00 Credits
A study of the physics of musical sound and musical instruments: wave motion and sound, sound synthesis, room acoustics, woodwinds, brasses, strings, piano, percussion, and the human voice. Open to all students but specifically intended for those who have not previously studied physics. Lecture/laboratory. Offered: Spring semester, odd years Hoffman
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the nature and evolution of stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole. Confrontation of theory with observational data from many telescopes and spacecraft is stressed throughout. Open to all but specifically intended for those who have not previously studied physics. Requires only high school algebra and trigonometry. One or more evening telescope observing sessions. Hoffman
