-
4.00 Credits
For physical therapist assistants and students in other health technologies. Includes application of principles of equilibrium to human muscular system; study of work and energy; electricity and magnetism and their relation to physical therapy equipment, heat, wave motion, atomic radiation and light. (3 HRS. lecture, 1 hr. recitation, 2 HRS. laboratory.) Prerequisite: MAT111 or equivalent. Note: PHY115 does not satisfy prerequisite for PHY102.
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of geometric optics, with somewhat less detailed coverage of physical optics. Geometric optics begins with law of mirrors and Snell¿s law; reflection and refraction caused by both plane and spherical surfaces follow. Thin and thick lenses covered in great detail, as well as systems of lenses (microscopes and telescopes). Two-slit and thin film interference and single-slit diffraction are final topics covered in depth. Photometry, polarization and dispersion covered briefly. (4 hrs. lecture/recitation, 3 hrs. laboratory.) Offered on G / 4 cr. hrs.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic course in sequence of courses offered to majors in physical sciences, mathematics and engineering. Includes vectors, kinematics, dynamics, rotational kinematics and dynamics, gravitation. (4 hrs. lecture/ recitation.) Offered on A / 3 cr. hrs.
-
1.00 Credits
Mechanics laboratory. (2 hrs. laboratory.) Offered on A / 1 cr. hr.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to electricity and magnetism, Coulombs Law, Gauss¿s Law, potential, Lenz's Law, Ampere's Law, Faraday¿s Law, inductance, magnetic materials. (4 hrs. lecture/recitation.) Offered on A / 3 cr. hrs.
-
1.00 Credits
Elementary circuits laboratory, DC circuits, ammeters, voltmeters, mesh and loop equations, Thevenin¿s theorem, superposition, impedance matching, transients, impedance. (2 hrs. laboratory.) Offered on A / 1 cr. hr.
-
4.00 Credits
Special topics course research experience at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for engineering and technical students. Students work on constructing a new beam line at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS), or work on the Relative Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC.) They learn basic vacuum techniques, some aspects of elementary electronics, and safe use of hand tools. They also take BNL radiation safety course and learn whatever is necessary to accomplish the portion of the work assigned to Suffolk County Community College. This portion varies depending on number of students involved and their respective backgrounds. (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. laboratory.) Offered on: A / 4 cr. hrs.
-
