19 courses with the subject PH, 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.
Introduction to the principles of classical mechanics. The historical development, methodology, and philosophy of our current understanding of the physical universe are presented from an experimental point of view. Three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly.
Continuation of PH 201 . Introduction to the principles of sound, heat, electricity, magnetism and optics. Three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly.
Calculus-based introduction to the principles of classical mechanics, designed for majors in mathematics, the physical sciences, computer science, and engineering. three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly. Offered in the Fall.
Continuation of PH 211 . Waves, sound, electricity, magnetism, elementary electro-dynamics and optics. Three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly.
Not regularly offered. three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly. Offered in the Spring.
Fundamentals, history, and frontiers of astronomy. Planets, exobiology, structure and dynamics of stars, galaxies, the universe, and cosmology. Three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly.
The physical nature of sound is explored to provide a scientific understanding of sound from its creation to its perception. Waves, sound propagation, the human voice and hearing, musical instruments, harmonics, and acoustics. No musical skills required, but basic math skills are necessary. Three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly.
This course is a practical introduction to physics and science in everyday life. It considers objects from our daily environment and focuses on the physics principles of operation and relationship to one another.
Basic principles of modern physics, especially atomic, quantum, nuclear, and particle physics. Three class hours and three laboratory hours weekly.
(also listed as MA325) Introduction to the principal computational tools, techniques, and methods used in contemporary physics, including programming skills as well as theory and mathematical methods of analysis. Three class hours weekly.
Principles of mechanics with engineering applications. Vector treatment of forces, statics, centroids, moments of inertia, friction, dynamics of a particle, system of particles and rigid bodies.
(Also listed as CH 333 ) Principles of thermodynamics investigated from a modern statistical point of view, based upon ensemble theory. Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics, transport phenomena, thermal interactions, kinetic theory, and their applications to a variety of molecular systems. Three class hours weekly.
Basic concepts of electronic circuits, designed for majors in sciences and engineering. Emphasizes analog electronic systems design and organization, data acquisition, and signal transmission. Three class hours weekly.
Continuation of PH 341 . Emphasizes digital electronic systems design and organization, data acquisition, and signal transmission. Three class hours weekly.
Topics vary according to the needs and interests of students and faculty. Past topics have included relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, quantum field theories, high energy physics, elementary particle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, solid state physics, and mathematical physics. Credits and time requirements by arrangement.
(Also listed as CH3511) The foundations of quantum chemistry and its applications to chemical systems. The Schrödinger wave equation is applied to the harmonic oscillator and the hydrogen atom. Introduction to matrix mechanics. Group theory and its application to spectroscopy. Three class hours weekly.
Individualized study is tailored to suit the needs or interests of qualified juniors and seniors. Each student works under the guidance of a faculty adviser approved by the Department Chair. Suggested topics include quantum mechanics; nuclear, atomic and chemical physics; electrodynamics; advanced optics; mathematical physics; astrophysics; participation in ongoing research projects with faculty.
Training in the acquisition of new knowledge under the supervision of one or more faculty members. Research may be conducted on campus or in off-campus research facilities. At least eight laboratory hours weekly.
Continuation of PH 391 . The aim is to achieve publishable results, though a peer-reviewed publication is not necessary to complete the course, nor does its absence affect the grade a student receives. At least eight laboratory hours weekly.
