4.00 Credits
A non-mathematical survey of the basic physical laws (rules) of nature with emphasis on the origin, meaning, significance, and limitations of these laws. Topical areas include mechanics, wave motion, electricity and magnetism, heat and thermodynamics, relativity, quantum theory, and elementary particle theory. Not for credit in Physics major. Not open to students with credit for PHYS 1500.
-
1.00 Credits
A lab designed to accompany PHYS 1700 and to introduce students to some equipment used in physics. The experiments are hands-on activities in mechanics, wave motion and sound, temperature and heat, electricity, light, and radioactivity. Not for credit in Physics major. Three hrs. lab.
-
4.00 Credits
A descriptive survey of astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology. Emphasis is on the physical nature and evolution of galaxies, stars, and planets. Not for credit in Physics major. Not open to students with credit for PHYS 1600.
-
1.00 Credits
A lab designed to accompany PHYS 1800 and PHYS 3700. Experiments are hands-on activities involving positions and motions of the moon, planets, and stars. Some night observations are included. Not for credit in Physics major. Three hrs. lab.
-
5.00 Credits
A continuation of the General Physics sequence (PHYS 1001, 1002, 1003) focusing on modern physics: relativity, quantum mechanics, atomic and molecular physics, nuclear and particle physics. Course is a bridge to upper division work in the sciences, and special emphasis is placed on advanced mathematical techniques and problem-solving skills. Prerequisites: MATH 2304 and PHYS 1003. Four hrs. lect., 3 hrs. lab.
