23 courses with the subject PHYS, 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.
PHYS 101Light and Visual Phenomena3
A course for the general student covering basic optics with applications in the areas of photography, vision, color and art.
A course for the general student covering the principles of sound, with applications in the areas of music, perception, audiology and electronic sound production.
A laboratory course developed for non-science majors covering the properties of light. Experiments include color mixing, prescribing eyeglasses, color blindness, and optical illusions.
A laboratory course developed for non-science majors covering the properties of sound. Experiments include combining sound waves, Fourier analysis, hearing tests, and applications to music.
An introduction to mechanics and thermodynamics with laboratory, for students not interested in studies leading to a degree in Physics, Chemistry or Engineering.
Course not otherwise included in the catalog listing but for which there may be special needs. May be repeated for credit as often as permitted and as subject matter changes. See department chair.
