Course Category: Physics

This course will expose students to laboratory exercises that will enhance their understanding of the fundamental principles learned in PHY 110.

This course provides a fundamental understanding of the universe. Scientific principles will be discussed and used to explain observations about the universe and the celestial objects that exist within it. Major topics include gravity, light, and telescopes; as well as the formation and evolution of planetary systems, stars, galaxies, and the universe itself.

The first of two courses in introductory physics commonly taken by students majoring in biology, chemistry, health professions and other disciplines requiring introductory level physics. Topics include: kinematics, Newton’s Laws, gravity, energy, momentum, rotational motion, solids and fluids, waves, sounds, and thermodynamics.

In this course, the laboratory experiments are used to help reinforce and physically demonstrate the concepts taught in PHY 111.

The second of two courses in introductory physics commonly taken by students majoring in biology, chemistry, health professions and other disciplines requiring introductory level physics. Topics include: electrostatics, electricity, magnetism, light, physical and geometric optics, and nuclear physics. Knowledge of algebra, geometry and trigonometry is assumed.

In this course, the laboratory experiments are used to help reinforce and physically demonstrate the concepts taught in PHY 113.
