PHYS 2212:Principles of Physics II

4 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Grades of “C” or better in MATH 2202 and PHYS 2211 or PHYS 1211K
This course is an introductory calculus-based course on electromagnetism, physical optics, and quantum physics. The student will be able to apply the concepts of electric field and electric potential to problems in electrostatics and with electric currents, describe the motion of charged particles in magnetic fields and induction, explain the origin of electromagnetic waves and properties of light, determine the behavior of light waves passing through single or multiple slits, and understand elementary principles of quantum physics.
