Phys 3
Heat, Electricity, Sound and Light.
Heat. Heat as a form of energy; calorimetry; expansion principles; heat transfer; meteorology.
Electricity. Fundamental principles of electric charge and electric current; development of essential mechanical nature of electrical and magnetic measurements.
Sound. Wave motion; propagation; principles of sound quality; acoustics of rooms.
Light. Illumination; photometry; principles of reflection; elementary geometrical optics; formation of spectra; interference; polarized light.
Laboratory work is given in the second semester of the course and covers a wide range of physical measurement, with particular attention given to the accuracy possible with the apparatus used.
