Last laboratory course in a calculus-based four-semester sequence. Core topics include experiments in modern physics, including the Michelson interferometer, photoelectric effect, longitudinal laser modes, Zeeman effect, and atomic spectra.
PHYC 2BC expands on topics covered in PHYC 2B with applications of calculus to problems in physics. Together with PHYC 2B and 2BL, PHYC 2BC may meet lower division requirements for life science majors at various universities.
PHYC 2AC expands on topics covered in PHYC 2A, with applications of calculus to problems in physics. Together with PHYC 2A and 2AL, PHYC 2AC may meet lower division requirements for life science majors at various universities.
Second course in an algebra/trigonometry-based two semester sequence. Core topics include electricity & magnetism, light, and selected topics in modem physics.
First course in a two-semester sequence required of most premedical, biology, veterinary, physical therapy, and architecture degrees. Core topics include kinematics, dynamics, work and energy, momentum, rotations, simple harmonic motion, fluids, heat, and thermodynamics.
Second laboratory course in a calculus-based four-semester sequence covering the topics of electricity and magnetism.
Third laboratory course in a calculus-based four-semester sequence. Core topics include experiments in sound, waves, electrical oscillations, thermodynamics, geometrical optics, and physical optics.
First laboratory course in a calculus-based four-semester sequence. Core topics include experiments in kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotation, and oscillations.
A single semester course emphasizing concepts and problem solving in kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotational motion and electricity. This course is intended to prepare students to take a college-level, problem-solving physics course using calculus.
