5 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 100Elements of Physics4
Covers basic concepts of physics, including Newtonian mechanics, properties of matter, heat transfer, waves, fundamental behavior of gases, optics, ionizing radiation, and fundamentals of electricity and magnetism. The assignments in the course require college-level reading fluency, coherent written communication, application of arithmetic, exponents, and algebraic skills such as solving for an unknown variable in an equation, and finding the slope and intercept from the equation of a line. This is a Passport and UCGS transfer course. Lecture 3 hours per week. Laboratory 3 hours per week. Total 6 hours per week.
Covers classical mechanics and thermodynamics, Includes kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, momentum, rotational kinematics, dynamic and static equilibrium. elasticity, gravitation, fluids, simple harmonic motion, calorimetry, ideal gas law, and the laws of thermodynamics. This is a Passport and UCGS transfer course Lecture 3 hours per week. Laboratory 3 hours per week. Total 6 hours per week. Prerequisites: MTH 161 or MTH 167 with a grade of C or better.
Covers waves, electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics. Includes mechanical waves, sound, electrostatics, Ohm's law and DC circuits, magnetic forces and magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, ray optics, wave optics, selected topics of modern physics. This is a Passport and UCGS transfer course. Lecture 3 hours per week. Laboratory 3 hours per week. Total 6 hours per week. Prerequisites: PHY 201 with a grade of C or better and (MTH 162 or MTH 167)
