4.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to expose students with a non-science background to physics. The students will experience the excitement of physics by examining phenomena of our everyday environment. The historical development of such ideas will be studied as well. Topics selected for study include Mechanics, Matter, Heat, Sound, Light, Electricity, Magnetism, Atomic and Nuclear Physics. Physics will be communicated conceptually rather than mathematically.

4.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to expose students to physics through its application to sound and music. The students will study these applications by examining the phenomena of voice, sound, hearing, musical instruments, acoustics, electronic technology and reproduction of sound and music. The historical development of such topics will be studied as well.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 01131 and PHYS 02201 or MATH 01131 and PHYS 02203 This course covers modern physics developed since the turn of the 20th century. After a review of some classical physics, course topics include special relativity, wave and particle aspects of radiation, matter waves, models of the atom, ionization, spectra, x-rays, and introductory quantum theory. It also covers theories developed by Planck, Einstein, Rutherford, Bragg, Bohr, Compton, de Broglie, Pauli, Schrodinger and Heisenberg.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 01131 and PHYS 02201 or MATH 01131 and PHYS 02203 This course studies the nature and propagation of light, dispersion, reflection and refraction at plane and spherical surfaces, lenses (thin and thick), aberrations of lenses and mirrors, optical instruments, polarization, diffraction and photometry. It also discusses modern developments and techniques (such as fiber optics, lasers, holography). This course may not be offered annually.
