Intermediate Physics III

Catalog description

Introduction to rotational motion, oscillations and wave motion, fluid physics, and heat and thermodynamics. Newton’s laws for rotation of solid objects are investigated. Matter waves are studied with applications to the science of sound. Study of incompressible fluids in equilibrium extends Newtonian mechanics to more complex systems. Concludes with a study of heat, temperature, the kinetic theory of gases, and the laws of thermodynamics. Three periods lecture per week.
