PHYS130
- Oscillations, Waves and Optics/ Lecture, Laboratory
The third of a four-semester introductory survey of physics. The seminar meets for three hours per week plus an afternoon laboratory. Oscillations and harmonic motion, wave phenomena such as interference, diffraction and standing waves, plus ray and wave optics are some of the topics covered. Key experiments include studies of mechanical, acoustic and optical waves, wave resonance in oscillating systems, construction of optical instruments, and measurement of the speed of light. Prepares the student for the study of quantum systems in PHYS131. Fulfills the Scientific Perspective. Prerequisites: PHYS111 or 121. Corequisite: MATH130. Mr. Kudrolli, Mr. Landee/Offered every fall
