IAI: P1 900L

This course is a study of waves and sound, electricity, magnetism, light, and topics in modern physics.

This laboratory reinforces the concepts discussed in PHYS 20500 and develops experimental skills. Laboratory fee applies.

This course focuses on the application of specific fundamental principles of physics and chemical physics to contemporary industrial requirements and products.  Information and skills treated in this course will vary according to the needs of the company and/or student.

This course is the first of three introductory calculus-based Physics courses and provides the foundation for the other two.  Translational, rotational, and oscillatory motions of objects and the forces and torques acting on them are covered. Newton's Laws and the laws of conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum are emphasized. This course plus the associated lab (PHYS 21100) fulfills the Science General Education requirement.

This is the laboratory component to PHYS 21000.  Experiments reinforcing topics in mechanics are conducted, and measurement techniques and data analysis are emphasized. Laboratory fee applies.

This course is a calculus-based introduction to electricity and magnetism.   Properties and sources of electric and magnetic fields are investigated.  Electric and magnetic forces and torques; induction;  DC and, time permitting, AC circuits; and the physics of various circuit components are covered.  Maxwell's equations are introduced. Courses PHYS 21500 and PHYS 21800 may be taken in any order.

This is the laboratory companion to PHYS 21500.  Experiments reinforcing topics in electricity and magnetism are conducted, and electric circuits are a primary focus of this laboratory.  Measurement techniques and data analysis will be emphasized. Laboratory fee applies.

This course is a calculus-based introduction to waves, light, thermodynamics, and modern physics. Wave properties, electromagnetic radiation, geometric and wave optics, heat and thermodynamics, special relativity, and an introduction to modern physics will be covered. Courses PHYS 21500 and PHYS 21800 may be taken in any order.

This is the laboratory companion to PHYS 21800. The primary focus of this laboratory is on waves and optics though other pertinent experiments may also be conducted.  Students also conduct a multi-week project in this lab.  Measurement techniques and data analysis are emphasized. Laboratory fee applies.
