-
3.00 Credits
The basics of electric circuits, magnetism, object motion, naked-eye astronomy and light behavior. The course is designed in conjunction with GLY 160 to provide basic concepts of earth science, astronomy and physics appropriate for elementary and middle school teachers. Both courses are taught with an emphasis on inquiry-based, laboratory activities. Lecture, one hour; laboratory, five hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will discuss basic concepts in physics prior to the 20th century and the backdrop to the emergence of the Special Theory of Relativity. Elements of Special and General Relativity will be discussed at a non-technical level. These concepts will be used to explain how very massive stars inevitably collapse to form black holes. Their observational signatures will be discussed. The work of Hawking leading to the prediction that black holes emit faint radiation will be explained. Finally, the possibility of existence of wormholes leading to time travel will be explored.
-
1.00 Credits
Special laboratory for students who have completed PHY 201 and later determine that they need an accompanying laboratory. Laboratory, two hours per week. Prereq: PHY 201.
-
5.00 Credits
First part of a two-semester survey of classical and modern physics, focusing on the motion of solids and fluids as governed by Newton's Laws and by the conservation laws of energy, momentum, and angular momentum. Lecture, two hours; recitation, two hours; laboratory, two hours. Credit is not given to students who already have credit for PHY 231 and 241. Prereq: A working knowledge of algebra and trigonometry as obtainable in MA 109 and MA 112, or as demonstrated by an ACT math score of 25 or higher.
-
1.00 Credits
Special laboratory for students who have completed PHY 203 and later determine that they need an accompanying laboratory. Laboratory, two hours per week. Prereq: PHY 203.
-
5.00 Credits
Continuation of PHY 211, covering electrostatics, de circuits, magnetism, Maxwell's Equations, electromagnetic radiation, light and some modern physics. Lecture, two hours; recitation, two hours; laboratory, two hours. Credit is not given to students who already have credit for PHY 232 and 242. Prereq: PHY 211 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture and problems course covering the principles of geometrical optics, special relativity, and thermal physics. Prereq or concur: MA 114.
-
4.00 Credits
First part of a two-semester survey of classical physics. Consequences of the principles of mechanics are developed conceptually, analytically and quantitatively. Lecture, three hours; recitation, one hour per week. Prereq or concur: MA 113.
-
4.00 Credits
A general course covering electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves and physical optics. Lecture, three hours; recitation, one hour per week. Prereq: PHY 231; concur: MA 213.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory course offering experiments in mechanics and heat, framed in a small group environment that requires coordination and team work in the development of a well-written lab report. Prereq or concur: PHY 231.
