PHY 2049C

General Physics with Calculus II with Lab (5)

Prerequisite: PHY 2048C and MAC 2312

Classification: Parallel

This course is a combined lecture/laboratory course designed primarily to meet the requirements for majors in engineering or the physical sciences, as a continuation of the classical physics topics series initiated in PHY 2048C General Physics I with Calculus. The major topics introduced in the second semester are electricity and magnetism, wave motion (including sound and radiation), geometrical optics and selected topics in atomic and nuclear physics, quantum theory and solid state physics as time permits. Throughout this course, problem-solving is strongly emphasized again in homework assignments and in tests. (4 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory and 1-hour problem-solving session per week)
