  • PHYS 0839: Powering the Future

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    How can we provide inexpensive, safe, environmentally clean energy supplies for the United States and the world as a whole despite rising population and increasing affluence? Study problems of our conventional fossil and nuclear fuel use, and how they might be relieved; explore the physical and technological possibilities for using energy much more efficiently; investigate various renewable-energy sources (such as solar, hydrogen cells, hydropower, and biofuels) that significantly reduce effects on the environment. In the course lab projects, you will research and develop a sustainable energy proposal for your own home, campus, or community.

    Note: This course fulfills a Science & Technology (GS) requirement for students under GenEd and Science & Technology Second Level (SB) for students under Core.

    Students cannot get credit for this course if they have successfully completed Physics 0939.

  • PHYS 0846: Universe As We Know It

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Scientific thinking in the context of the study of astronomy. This course includes the intersection of ethics and science, for example: heroic individual resistance to repressive authority (Galileo), the changing role of women in science (from Pickering’s Harem to Sally Ride), and the use of science to further political agendas (Kennedy’s moon landing program). Extensive use of web resources, the planetarium theater, and self-guided observing assignments.

  • PHYS 0847: How Things Work: The Physics of Everyday Life

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    As you observe films, demonstrations and photographic techniques both real and computer-simulated, and as you perform several simple in-home experiments you will gain a basic understanding of the laws of nature as they play out in everyday life. In a special project you will compare the science in different science fiction films.

  • PHYS 0872: The Science of Sound

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    For living things the ability to hear sounds is an essential tool for survival, and sound is central to speech and languages. In the arts sound also plays a fundamental role, above all in music. The close connection between music, mathematics, and physics has long fascinated scientists. Advances in electronics and computing are revolutionizing the composition, production, and recording of sound. Science of Sound is an interdisciplinary course involving elements of physics, physiology, psychology, music, and engineering. After a four-week introduction to the fundamental physics of sound waves, we will consider human hearing and the human voice; scales, harmony, and sound production by musical instruments; architectural acoustics; and the electronic reproduction of sound. The course includes many in-class demonstrations.

    Note: This course fulfills a Science & Technology (GS) requirement for students under GenEd and Science & Technology Second Level (SB) for students under Core.

    Students cannot get credit for this course if they have completed Physics 1003: Acoustics.
