1.00 Credits
1 credit. Corequisite: Phys 150.
-
8.00 Credits
8 credits. Corequisites: 161L for 161; 162L for 162. An introduction to the principles and concepts of physics with the application of minimal mathematics, sufficient to show the logical progression from one topic to the next. General physics for those who do not plan to take an advanced course in science. Topics: Newtonian mechanics and gravitation, work and energy, solids and fluids, vibrations and waves, electricity and magnetism, light and optics. The laboratory is a corequisite of each course. Physics 161 has no mathematical prerequisite but knowledge of elementary algebra is recommended. Physics 161 is offered in the fall and Physics 162 in the spring. F,S
