PHYS 1102 Introductory Physics II.<br />
(3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab per week) (4) Spring<br />
A continuation of Physics 1101 and an introduction to sound and waves,<br />
electric and magnetic fields, electric circuits, light and optics, and<br />
nuclear physics. Physics is a science of measurement, testing, and<br />
experimentation – inquiry based laboratories make physics come to life!<br />
Prerequisite: PHYS 1101<br />
PHYS 2121 General Physics I.<br />
(3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab per week) (4) Fall<br />
A calculus-based introduction to particle dynamics, energy and<br />
momentum conservation, rotational dynamics, fluid mechanics,<br />
thermodynamics, and kinetic theory of gases. Physics is a science of<br />
measurement, testing, and experimentation – inquiry based laboratories<br />
make physics come to life!<br />
Prerequisite: MATH 2222<br />
PHYS 2122 General Physics II.<br />
(3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab per week) (4) Spring<br />
A continuation of Physics 2121 covering wave mechanics, electricity<br />
and magnetism, electric circuits, light and optics. Physics is a science of<br />
measurement, testing, and experimentation – inquiry based laboratories<br />
make physics come to life!<br />
Prerequisites: PHYS 2121<br />
PHYS 3201 Introduction to Modern Physics<br />
(3hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab per week) (4) Fall<br />
During the early twentieth-century, two momentous theories were<br />
proposed: the theory of relativity and the quantum theory. This course<br />
will introduce these theories and supporting experimental evidence, as<br />
well, many of the theories that were developed in the twentieth-century.<br />
Topics to be studied include: the Birth of Modern Physics, Special<br />
Relativity, Quantum Theory, Atomic Physics, General Relativity, and<br />
Cosmology. The laboratories involve experiments that explore the<br />
quantum nature of matter and energy.<br />
Prerequisites: PHYS 1102 or PHYS 2122 with a grade of C or higher,<br />
Corequisite: MATH 2223<br />
PHYS 3302 Physical Chemistry: Chemical Dynamics and<br />
Quantum Mechanics.<br />
(3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab per week) (4)<br />
Spring of even years<br />
A study of basic principles of physical chemistry focusing on gas<br />
kinetics, chemical dynamics, quantum mechanics, and atomic and<br />
molecular spectroscopy. This course is co-listed as CHEM 3302.<br />
Prerequisites: MATH 2222, PHYS 1102 or PHYS 2122<br />
