Description
This is part three of an algebra-based physics sequence intended for non-physical science majors. Topics include electricity and magnetism, optics, and selected topics in modern physics (relativity, structure of the atom, quantum theory, etc.). Lab work required. Prerequisite: PHYS& 115. Formerly PHYS 123, College Physics III. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Build simple DC circuits and predict their behavior.
Describe the interaction of electric and magnetic fields
Analyze EM waves in terms of ray and wave optics
Describe the modern physics principles of special relativity and quantum theory
Solve numerical problems (algebra and trigonometry based) related electricity and magnetism, optics, and topics from modern physics.
Perform laboratory experiments to investigate DC circuit and elementary optics.
