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 131Applied Physics I3
Emphasizes application of topics such as precision measurement, statics, dynamics, energy, momentum, properties of matter, heat, sound, optics, and electricity and magnetism. Prerequisites high school algebra, geometry and trigonometry, or equivalent or divisional approval. Part I of II. This course applies to career/technical education (CTE) programs. PHY 100 serves both transfer and CTE programs. Lecture Hours 2 Lab hours 2 Note
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. Part I of II. This is a Passport and UCGS transfer course. Prerequisite MTH 161 or MTH 167 with a grade of ‘C’ or higher Lecture Hours 3 Lab hours 3 Note
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, and selected topics of modern physics. Part II of II. This is a Passport and UCGS transfer course. Prerequisite PHY 201 with a ‘C’ or higher and MTH 162 or MTH 167 Lecture Hours 3 Lab hours 3 Note
