PHYS 2350, 2360 - Physics I, II

Course guide for General Physics I/Lab (PHYS 2350) and General Physics II/Lab (PHYS 2360)

Physics
PHYS 2350, 2360
Fall 2024

First of a two-part series covering mechanics, thermodynamics, vibrations, and waves. Includes laboratory sessions.
Second of a two-part series covering electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Includes laboratory sessions.
Required Textbooks:
  • Use the basic concepts of mechanics, such as energy, momentum, force, torque, and wave motion to solve simple mechanical problems.
  • Use the basic concepts of fluid mechanics, including pressure, density, and volume flow to solve fluid problems.
  • Apply thermodynamic concepts such as heat, internal energy, temperature, thermal conduction, and entropy to thermodynamic problems, especially to problems involving ideal gases.
  • Calculate electric and magnetic fields, forces, and potentials from a given set of charges or currents.
  • Use the basic properties of electromagnetic waves and how they relate to optics to solve related, simple problems.
  • Solve electric circuit problems for both AC and DC circuits containing batteries, inductors, capacitors, and resistors.
  • Use the basic ideas of geometrical and physical optics, such as refraction and diffraction to solve simple optical problems.
  • Solve simple problems in special relativity involving energy, momentum, length contraction, time dilation, and velocity composition.
  • Apply elementary ideas from quantum mechanics to simple systems such as the hydrogen atom.
