6 courses with the subject PHY, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
PHY 101Introductory Physics1
Non-calculus physics course for technical and transfer programs. The general subject covered is mechanics. Specific topics include: vectors, rectilinear motion, dynamics, work, energy and power, momentum, rotational dynamics. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and with PHY102 , laborator
Calculus-based physics course for students of science and engineering. The general subject covered is mechanics. Topics include: vectors, accelerated motion, Newton's laws of motion, work and energy, momentum, and rotational kinematics and dynamics. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and with PHY 202 or P
Continuation of Physics 1. The general subjects are electricity and magnetism. Topics include: Coulomb's Law, Gauss' Law, electric potential, capacitance, circuits, the magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, and inductance. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and with PHY201 laborator
Continuation of Physics 1. Topics include: simple harmonic motion, gravitation, fluid mechanics, waves, the kinetic theory of gases, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and with PHY201 laboratory science electives. (3 hours of lecture, 2 hours of lab per week)
Continuation of Physics 2. The general subjects are optics and modern physics. Topics include: geometrical optics, wave optics, relativity, the quantum theory of radiation, atomic structure, and nuclear physics. (3 hours of lecture, 2 hours of lab per week)
