Designed to give the nonscience student an adequate understanding of the nature of science and of the fundamental physical laws that govern our everyday lives. Topics include forces, motion, heat, electricity, atomic energy, and fundamental ideas in chemistry. Laboratory work is closely integrated with the above topics. Lecture and lab. 4 credits
-
4.00 Credits
A study of our nearest star, the sun, as well as stellar properties and evolution. The Big Bang and the fate of the universe are covered. Not open to students who have previously taken an astronomy course. Lecture and lab. 4 credits
-
4.00 Credits
The lecture topics provide a description of the fundamental principles of acoustics and sound that include: simple harmonic motion, basic wave phenomena, analysis and synthesis of complex waves, the human ear and voice, basic room and auditorium acoustics, and the basic operating principles of microphones, speakers, and audio equipment. The laboratory presents a set of experiments that highlight the physical principles presented in lecture. Lecture and lab. 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
The general philosophy of electronics as a "way of life"and its function as a basic tool in our present scientific culture. Fundamentals of electronics including basic components and circuit configurations. Actual circuits are assembled, tested, and their behavior explored. A descriptive laboratory course in basic electronic circuits without the use of extensive mathematics. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: PHYS 110 or PHYS 256 or PHYS 261 4 credits each
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory physics course for students who do not intend to specialize in the physical sciences. Requires no mathematics beyond algebra and geometry as prerequisites. Underlying principles and basic laws of Newtonian mechanics, rotational motion, momentum, energy, and thermodynamics are explored. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: MATH 115 4 credits
