Catalog description

This calculus-based course utilizes fundamental concepts explored in PHYS 170 toward the study of topics including: i) simple harmonic motion; ii) waves; iii) ray and wave optics; and iv) electric and magnetic phenomena. Strong emphasis is placed on the application of basic principles toward problem solving and the calculation of field structures. The pre-requisites of PHYS 163 or PHYS 173 and MATH 170 or MATH 171 may also be taken as co-requisites. PHYS 173 should be taken by students considering a major in physics, applied physics, biophysics, or engineering physics. Prerequisites: (Undergraduate level PHYS170 Minimum grade of D or Undergraduate level PHYS160 Minimum grade of D) and ( MATH169 or MATH180) Course Attributes: Scientific Persp/Explore Lect College of Arts & Sciences Physics & Engineering
