Concepts are developed and applied utilizing the calculus. Topics include the dynamics of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields, elementary quantum theory, the interaction of radiation with matter, and basic atomic and nuclear physics. Laboratory investigations are an integral part of the course. This course emphasizes the physical basis of radiology and nuclear medicine. Topics include interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detection and monitoring, dosimetry, range-energy relationships, and radiation safety.
Laboratory investigations are an integral part of the course.
This course explores the design and function of DC and AC circuits, power supplies, amplifiers, oscillators, and semiconductor devices. Attention is given to digital electronics and micro-processors. Laboratory work is an integral part of the course. This course includes studies from classical physics such as linear oscillations, non-linear oscillations, rigid body dynamics, and central force field motion. This course examines concepts from classical electricity and magnetism such as electrostatics, study of fields in dielectrics, magnetic forces, and electric and magnetic properties of matter.
