PHY 222 - Classical Physics II

Credit(s) 5.00
Lecture Hours: 4.00
Lab Hours: 2.00
This course is a continuation of PHY 212 - Classical Physics I. It includes static electricity, current, electromagnetism, geometric and wave optics, and a brief introduction to modern physics. Students will achieve a basic understanding of the fundamental principles in these topics and to be able to apply physics concepts to a variety of physical situations. Students are expected to acquire basic skills in scientific methods, critical reasoning, and problem-solving. The application of calculus to these physics concepts is used. This course may satisfy a general education requirement in the Natural Sciences Area.

Prerequisite(s): MAT 210, PHY 212, or consent of instructor.
SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Explain the fundamental principles of static electricity, current, electromagnetism, geometric and wave optics.
Demonstrate critical thinking through problem solving.
Apply fundamental principles in a laboratory situation that involves measurement, data gathering, data analysis and laboratory report.
Apply calculus to introductory physics concepts and problems.
