PHYS 122

PHYS 122 Advanced Physics II
3 Credits

Continuing from Physics 121, this is a calculus-based introduction to modern physics for students who intend to pursue careers involving engineering or the physical sciences (physics, chemistry, astronomy, computer sciences, mathematics, etc). Topics covered include waves, electricity and magnetism, DC and AC circuits, properties of photons and matter waves, and quantum physics. There is an extensive laboratory program which is based on the material from the lecture and a project students complete throughout the term. There are many examples studied which relate physics to experiential knowledge.

Prerequisites
Take MATH-102,Minimum grade of "C" in Phys 121; Minimum grade of "C" in Math 101.
