Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Special emphasis is placed on relating physical principles to mathematical techniques in problem solving. This lecture and laboratory course covers mechanics, wave motion, and thermodynamics. Four hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. A continuation of PHYS 231.
Topics covered are electricity, magnetism, and physical and geometrical optics.
Four hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. A continuation of PHYS 232 emphasizing modern physics. Included are topics on solid state physics, nuclear and atomic physics, and fundamental particles. The application of mathematics is limited to elementary use of the wave mechanical approach to quantum mechanics. Four hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
