-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of PHY 101 with topics selected from waves, electromagnetic theory, and optics. General Physics I (either PHY 101 or PHY 105) and PHY 103 are prerequisites. Because of the integration between PHY 102 and PHY 104, PHY 104 must be taken concurrently.
-
1.00 Credits
The activities of these laboratory courses are designed to give students taking PHY 101-102 and PHY 105-106 direct experience with the fundamental concepts that are the subjects of those courses, making these laboratory courses an integral part of PHY 101-102 and PHY 105-106. A thorough knowledge of high school algebra and trigonometry is a prerequisite. PHY 103 is a prerequisite for PHY 104. One three-hour laboratory period each full week of classes each semester.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to physics and the use of calculus in physical problems. Topics are selected from mechanics of solids and fluids, kinetic theory and heat. Previous experience with calculus, either in high school or college, or concurrent enrollment in college-level Calculus I is required. Pre-calculus is not adequate. Because of the integration between PHY 105 and PHY 103, PHY 103 must be taken concurrently.

A continuation of PHY 105 with topics selected from waves, electromagnetic theory and optics. PHY 105 and PHY 103 are prerequisites. Because of the integration between PHY 106 and PHY 104, PHY 104 must be taken concurrently. Concurrent enrollment in college-level Calculus II is desirable but not required. Pre-calculus is not adequate.

3.00 Credits
The technology of digital imaging and the science underlying that technology are the primary subjects of this course. Participants will become knowledgeable with respect to alternative technologies for digital image capture, digital image sensor technologies, lens optics technologies, color temperature and its consequences, tonal range and Dmax, digital encoding of tonal and color information, color calibration, digital noise and its visual consequences and correction, perspective and lens distortions and their correction, digital file formats, and fundamental principles and methods of manipulating digital image data, including masking techniques for adjustment of tone and color and for making composite images. To give practical, hands-on experience with the primary course content, beginning with the third week of the course all participants must have access to a camera for the purpose of completing a project in digital imaging. A digital camera is ideal, but any film or digital camera can be used, even inexpensive disposable cameras. Participants are responsible for their photographic supplies and, if appropriate, film processing. This course does not teach photography. Those with an interest in photography as an art form should either follow or precede this course with a class in photography from the department of visual and performing arts.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the physics of fields and waves, focusing primarily on electric and magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves. May include physical optics. Prerequisites: Calculus II (MTH 146) and General Physics II (PHY 102 or PHY 106). May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the pillars of modern physics: special relativity and quantum mechanics. Includes a historical account of the theoretical and experimental development of quantum theory and an introduction to its concepts and methods. Additional topics may include, but are not limited to, the quantum physics of atoms, molecules and solids, and contemporary applications. Prerequisites: Calculus II (MTH 146) and General Physics II (either PHY 102 or PHY 106). Prior completion of PHY 201 is desirable but not required. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
-
3.00 Credits
A course in that branch of mechanics which deals with particles or bodies in equilibrium under the action of forces or torques. It embraces the composition and resolution of forces, the equilibrium of bodies under balanced forces and such properties of bodies as center of gravity and moment of inertia. Prerequisites: General Physics II (either PHY 102 or PHY 106) and Calculus II MTH 146. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to experimental methods in physics through experiments measuring fundamental properties of light and matter. Topics may include, but are not limited to, analysis of experimental data and propagation of uncertainties, computer-aided data acquisition, and an introduction to instrumentation. Experimental topics may include, but are not limited to, the mass and charge of the electron, the speed of light, Planck’s constant, properties of lasers and laser light, concepts of photon interference and quantum measurement, resonance and chaos in dynamical systems. One three-hour laboratory period per week. Prerequisites: Calculus II (MTH 146), General Physics II (PHY 102 or PHY 106). Prior completion of PHY 201 is strongly desirable but not required. Corequisite: PHY 203. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced undergraduate course in classical electromagnetic theory. PHY 303 covers vector calculus, electrostatics and magnetostatics. PHY 304 is primarily devoted to electromagnetic dynamics and, time allowing, applications. Prerequisites: A course in differential equations (MTH 303), PHY 201, and PHY 203. May be offered in conjunction with physics courses at Syracuse University.
