    Description
    54 hours lecture and 54 hours lab per term. This course covers the topics of thermodynamics, mechanical and electromagnetic waves, geometrical and physical optics, special relativity, and an introduction to quantum mechanics including wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, the atom, and the nucleus. The laboratory provides students with hands-on experience working with the subject material. PHYS 221 F , 222 F , and 223 F are a calculus-based three-semester survey of introductory physics. Required of majors in physics and most majors in engineering. Recommended for majors in all the other physical sciences.
