PHY 213 - General Physics 34 credit hours - Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term. Continue the study of physics and its application to the calculus-based mathematical analysis of physical problems. Analyze topics including magnetism, electrodynamics and Maxwell’s equations, alternating current circuit theory and applications, optics, quantum mechanics, and special relativity.
Prerequisite(s): PHY 212 and either MAT 201 or MAT 212 .
Note: Typically offered at MC; fall and spring terms.
Course Outcomes:
- Apply the appropriate physical principles, while considering their limitations, to a given scenario.
- Translate a given physical situation or written problem into an organized solution map, including a diagram and a physics-based mathematical description.
- Apply physical models based on advanced mathematical techniques (including, but not limited to, integral and differential calculus) to explain and/or predict physical phenomena.
- Set up experimental apparatus and acquire data to test a scientific hypothesis.
- Use appropriate mathematical methods, consistent with physics principles, to examine laboratory data in order to support or refute a scientific hypothesis.
- Communicate appropriate experimental conclusions based on underlying physics principles and mathematical, graphical, and statistical analysis tools.
