General Physics II

Catalog description

This course extends the study of classical physics and covers topics in electrostatics, magneto statics, electric circuits, electromagnetic waves, optics, interference and diffraction, and the quantum theories of atomic and nuclear physics. Mathematical problem-solving skills and applied problems in medical technology are emphasized. Applications of elementary and differential and integral calculus to physics are introduced. The course includes laboratory experiments to expose the student to advanced electronic and radiation measurement technologies and enhance the theoretical development of each topic. Three hours of lecture, three hours of laboratory per week. Limited to the student enrolled in the BS-Exercise Science degree program.
