The course may also include such topics as properties of matter, heat, sound, light, atomic and nuclear physics, and relativity. Laboratory is included. The lectures stress a quantitative approach and regular laboratory sessions introduce the students to experimental procedures. Electricity and Magnetism. This course presents a calculus-based coverage of various topics in electricity and magnetism such as Coulomb's law, electric field, electric potential, capacitance, resistance, current, DC circuits, magnetic fields and magnetic forces and inductance.
Laboratory is included.
A student concurrently enrolled in Mechanics may, with permission of the instructor, take this course. Thermal Physics, Waves and Optics. This course will cover the topics of mechanics and thermal properties of matter, as well as of waves and optics. Various topics will be presented such as elasticity of solids, Bernoulli's equation of fluids, thermal equilibrium and thermal expansion of matter, heat and heat transfer, equation of states, ideal gases, laws of thermodynamics, molecular structure of matter, phenomena of sound, nature of light, simple geometrical optics, interference and diffraction of light. Laboratory is included.
