3.00 Credits
A study of classical problems in mechanics. Topics include motion in noninertial reference frames, particle systems and collisions, rigid bodies, and Lagrangian mechanics. Prerequisite: PHY 2010. Corequisite: MAT 3130.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of PHY 3010, Classical Mechanics. This course covers advanced applications of Lagrange’s equations, Hamilton’s equations, an introduction to the mechanics of continuous media, elementary tensor algebra, and the rotation of a rigid body in space. Prerequisites: PHY 3010, MAT 3130 and permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of electromagnetic theory, including the solution of electrostatics problems using Laplace’s equation, fields in dielectric media, magnetic fields of steady and varying currents, and the development and application of Maxwell’s equations. Prerequisites: PHY 2020, MAT 3130.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of PHY 3020, Electromagnetic Fields and Waves. This course covers applications of Maxwell’s Equations, including the propagation of plane electromagnetic waves in free space and other media; the general principles of guided waves; and the radiation of electromagnetic waves, including a discussion of the electric dipole antenna. Prerequisites: PHY 3020 and permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the physical principles underlying current environmental problems and issues such as global climate change and ozone depletion, and an examination of possible mitigating technologies. Other topics include the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and planetary atmospheres, radiative forcing, the greenhouse effect and the increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere, the paleoclimate of the earth and global climate change, alternative energy sources, and the viability of nuclear power. Prerequisite: PHY 1104 or PHY 1151. (CROSS-DISCIPLINARY)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles of atmospheric physics. After a survey of climatology and the hydrologic and carbon cycles, this course focuses on important aspects of atmospheric physics including thermodynamics, radiative transfer, atmospheric chemistry, cloud microphysics, atmospheric and fluid dynamics, weather systems, boundary layer physics, and climate dynamics. Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours. Prerequisites: PHY 1150 and PHY 1151. Corequisite: MAT 3130 or permission of the instructor. (CROSSDISCIPLINARY; NUMERICAL DATA; COMPUTER) (ND Prerequisite: passing the math placement test or successful completion of MAT 0010.)
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory survey of whole earth geophysics through theory and practice. The theory portion of the course covers seismology (techniques in reflection and refraction seismology), geothermics, radioactive dating, surface processes, tectonics, orogenics, gravity and gravimetric techniques, electrical and magnetic surveys, and borehole logging. The practical component of the course includes the utilization of several of these methods to study subsurface environments. Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours. Prerequisites OR corequisites: one introductory geology course (GLY 1101, GLY 1102, GLY 1103, GLY 1104, GLY 1105, or GLY 1510) plus PHY 1103 (or PHY 1150), and MAT 1110, or permission of the instructor. (Same as GLY 3160.)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the theories and experiments of 20th-century physics: special relativity; wave-particle duality; atomic structure; and natural and artificial radioactivity. Elementary results from quantum theory will be applied to the solid state and the nucleus. Descriptive treatment of frontier topics such as particle physics, accelerators, and superconductivity. Prerequisite: PHY 1151 or corequisite PHY 2010. Lecture three hours.
