C Physics for Life Sciences II

Catalog description

Term hours: 54 lecture and 54 laboratory. This is the second half of a calculus-based two-semester sequence ( PHYS 210 C and 211 C ) designed for students majoring in the life sciences. This course covers electricity, magnetism, optics, special relativity, and modern physics. The laboratory portion of the course investigates these topics both qualitatively and quantitatively, and includes the use of graphing, statistics, and propagation of errors. This course satisfies a requirement for biology majors in the UC system; the CSU system will accept either this sequence or PHYS 201 C and 202 C sequence.(CSU/UC Credit Limitation/AA GE, CAL-GETC).
