General Physics II

Catalog description

Continuation of PHY 211. Topics include rotational motion, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and nuclear topics. Laboratory. Prerequisite: PHY 211. PHY 218, 218L Physics with Calculus I (3, 1 hours). Calculus based course designed for mathematics and chemistry majors. Topics include motion: kinematics in one, two or three dimensions, vectors, dynamics, circular and rotational motion, conservation of energy and momentum, fluids, wave motion, sound, heat, and laws of thermodynamics. Problem solving requires the use of differential and integral calculus. Laboratory. Prerequisite: Trigonometry. Co-requisite: MTH 230. PHY 219, 219L Physics with Calculus II (3, 1 hours). Continuation of PHY 218. Topics include: electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction and waves, light, special theory of relativity, and quantum mechanics. Problem solving requires the use of differential and integral calculus. Laboratory. Prerequisite: PHY 218. Co-requisite: MTH 231.
