Credits: 4
3 Lecture Hours 3 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: PHY 222
Co-requisites: MAT 250

This is a calculus-based physics course that stresses experimental and problem-solving techniques. Heat, thermodynamics, waves, geometrical and physical optics, and atomic structure are studied. Topics include temperature, thermal expansion of solids, ideal gases, kinetic theory, heat transfer and calorimetry, the first and second law of thermodynamics, transverse and longitudinal wave motion, superposition of waves, synthesis of complex wave forms, electromagnetic radiation, law of reflection, law of refraction, imaging, interference, diffraction, polarization, atomic and nuclear physics.
