General Physics II

Catalog description

Introduction to thermal physics, wave motion, electricity, and magnetism. The classical theory of fields will be used to study electric and magnetic phenomena, including light. This is the culmination of classical physics which underlies much of technology. Algebra and trigonometry based physics problem solving will be required. Home based experiments using commonly available items will be assigned. This course meets the standards for the “Life and Physical Sciences” category of courses under the core curriculum. TSI Restriction(s): Reading, Math, and Writing
