Description
This course is the continuation of a two-semester survey of non-calculus based physics for biological science, health-related professions, and other pre-professional majors. This course presents topics in electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves, optics, and some modern physics. Topics covered include electric charge and electric field, electric potential and capacitance, electric current and resistance, electric circuits, electrical properties of materials, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, geometrical optics, optical instruments, wave optics, relativity, atomic structure, quantum mechanics, atomic nuclei, and radiation and the life sciences. The laboratory experiences are designed to enhance the lecture part of the course, as well as to cover various laboratory techniques. (3 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory and 1-hour problem-solving session per week)
