Physics 2 (PHYS 1200)
This course is the second half of a standard 1st year calculus-based physics course (PHYS 1100 is the first half). Topics include electricity and magnetism, geometric optics, physical optics and quantum physics (including radioactivity). Students will perform laboratory experiments connected to these topics and toto familiarize themselves with operating lab instruments such as linear power supplies, digital multi-meters, function generators and oscilloscopes. Students will also learn proper breadboarding and printed wiring board assembly techniques.
