4.00 Credits
An introduction to the properties of light, whether interpreted as rays, waves, or photons. Discussion of the basic ideas of geometric and wave optics, with application to the analysis of photography, color, vision, and modern physics. Emphasis is on factors that permit the artist and observer to understand and more fully control the design and interpretation of images of all kinds. Demonstrations, experiments, and video and computer simulations to analyze signals received by the eyes or instruments. Note: (1) Course is primarily designed for students interested in the visual arts, but is open to anyone. Minimal mathematics. (2) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Science & Technology First Level (SA) requirement.

3.00 Credits
Medical Physics is an introductory science elective course that is open to students with little exposure to science or mathematics. With nominal (high school level) mathematics preparation, students can learn how basic principles of physics are utilized in medical processes. Topics to be examined include: the nature of radiation, radiation exposure, nuclear medicine, CT and MR imaging, and ultrasound techniques.
Prerequisite:
C- or higher in MATH 1021 (C073) or equivalent
-
3.00 Credits
This course takes a captivating look at physical phenomena illustrated through 12 popular science fiction films, including Terminator 2, Forbidden Planet, 2010, Total Recall, Deep Impact and Contact. The course covers an introduction to mechanics, astronomy, electricity and magnetism, nuclear physics and nuclear terrorism, and global warming.
