Physics and Astronomy 109 ,110: Astronomy
3.00 Credits
Dickinson College
Introduction to the modern concepts of the physical nature of the astronomical universe. First semester: historical development of astronomical ideas and origin and evolution of the solar system. Second semester: cosmology and the structure and evolution of the stars and galaxies. A terminal laboratory course for non-science students. Three hours classroom, one two-hour laboratory a week. This course will not count toward major requirements in physics, but will satisfy the laboratory distribution requirement.

Physics and Astronomy 131 ,132: Introductory Physics
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Dickinson College
An introduction to basic physics topics using the workshop method. This method combines inquiry-based cooperative learning with the comprehensive use of computer tools for data acquisition, data analysis and mathematical modeling. Kinematics, Newton's Laws of motion, conservation laws, rotational motion, and oscillations are studied during the first semester. In the second semester topics in thermodynamics, electricity, electronics and magnetism are covered. Additional topics in chaos or nuclear radiation are introduced. Basic calculus concepts are used throughout the course. Recommended for physical science, mathematics, and pre-engineering students and for biology majors preparing for graduate study and for students who wish to satisfy the two-semester, lab science sequence distribution requirement. Three two-hour sessions per week. Prerequisite: Completion of, or concurrent enrollment in, MATH 152 or 161. (Students enrolled in PHYS 132 who have completed Mathematics 161 are encouraged to continue their mathematics preparation while taking physics by enrolling in MATH 162.)

Physics and Astronomy 202: The Physics of Meteorology
3.00 Credits
Dickinson College
The physical basis of meteorology, characteristics of atmospheric motion, clouds and weather systems. The course deals with current weather as determined by observation, local weather instruments, and current data and displays obtained from computer networks. Similar to Physics 102, but with additional emphasis on mathematical analysis of physical atmospheric systems. Prerequisite: 131 or 141 or permission of instructor.

Physics and Astronomy 204: The Fourth State of Matter-An Introduction to Plasma Physics
3.00 Credits
Dickinson College
The fact that more than 99% of the visible universe is in the plasma state certainly warrants a thorough study of this 4th state of matter. This course explores a variety of space plasmas, ranging from intergalactic plasmas to the very local effect of the solar wind plasma on aurora, global communication systems and power grids. Students investigate the large spectrum of laboratory plasmas, and study numerous plasma applications from Plasma TV's plasma processing to plasma propulsion and encounter the present day difficulties fusion researchers face in harnessing the ultimate energy source for humankind. Spreadsheet simulations are used to visualize intricate plasma particle trajectories in a variety of electric and magnetic field configurations. Prerequisite: 131 & 132 and GRMN 101 & 104. Offered every two years.

Physics and Astronomy 208: Introductory Astrophysics
3.00 Credits
Dickinson College
An introduction to the physical basis of astronomy, including discussion of the creation and evolution of the solar system, the stars, and galaxies. Astronomical measurement and units, and dynamical systems, such as binary star systems and star clusters, will be discussed. Similar to Physics 108 or Physics 110, but with additional emphasis on mathematical analysis of astrophysical phenomena. Prerequisite: 131 or 141 or permission of instructor.
