Specific types of machines will also be covered. Interaction of radiation with a scattering medium. Calibration and Q.A. of machines will be studied in the laboratory. Continued emphasis on radiation protection. An introductory course in general physics intended for liberal arts students.
Emphasis is placed on the fundamental laws.
Topics include vector concepts, linear and circular motion, Newtoninan mechanics, conservation of energy and momentum, rigid body rotation, gravitation, thermal concepts and gas laws. Concurrent registration in PH 371 required. PH 370.The laboratory will include experiments designed to reinforce the physical principles covered in lectures and will give students training in data analysis, error analysis and report writing.
