This is the second part of the college-level Physics course designed to introduce the subject at an entry-level through an examination of the principal laws. This course covers the topics not covered in PHY 101 from the first half of the year. The topics covered in this course include electricity, magnetism, waves, vibrations, sound, light, and optics. This course will give students an understanding of the physical principles involved in their everyday interaction with the environment as well as prepare them for higher-level studies.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course the student will be expected to:
1. utilize basic concepts to solve Physics problems,
2. execute basic solving strategies for Physics problems,
3. demonstrate the ability to think critically and to use appropriate concepts to analyze problems or situations involving the fundamental principles of Physics,
4. demonstrate the ability to use mathematical techniques to obtain quantitative solutions to problems in Physics,
5. demonstrate basic experimental skills, including setting up and conducting an experiment,
6. present the results of laboratory observation and measurements in a precise and logically written form.
