PHY 102 - General Physics II

▲ = Fulfills a General Education Requirement
This physics course is the second part of a general education, algebra-based, multi-semester sequence. This course covers the basic concepts of temperature and heat, thermal expansion, heat transfer, ideal gas laws, the elastic properties of solids and liquids, thermodynamics, wave motion, stationary waves, sound waves, acoustics, light and illumination, reflection, refraction, thin lenses, optical instruments, physical optics, electrostatics, capacitance, electric circuits, power, magnetism, induced E.M.F., inductance, and simple AC circuits. This course includes a laboratory section that has experiments and activities specifically designed to facilitate knowledge acquisition of course subject matter.
