PHYS 152 - General Physics II Credits: 4 Description Continuation of PHYS 151 . Covers optics, electromagnetism and some aspects of modern physics.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Identify concepts, magnitudes and laws of electrostatic phenomena: electric forces, electric field, electric potential energy and electric potential.
- Recognize and calculate electrical magnitudes in DC and AC circuits: electromotive force, voltage, current, resistance, reactance, capacitance, and inductance.
- Formulate the main laws and rules applied to electric circuits.
- Analyze the interaction between charged particles and magnetic fields.
- Describe the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction based on Faraday’s law and Lenz’s law.
- Explain the nature of electromagnetic waves and light.
- Apply the laws of reflection and refraction of light to obtain images of objects in optical devices: mirrors, lenses and prisms.
- Recognize and explain optical phenomena: total internal reflection, dispersion and polarization of light.
- Interpret the nature of the atom based on the wave particle duality.
- Identify the phenomenon of radioactivity as a consequence of the nuclear structure of the atom and apply it in determining the age of archeological and geological samples.
- Recognize processes of nuclear reaction: fission and fusion and their main applications.
- Formulate and solve problems analytically and numerically by using algebra, geometry, addition and subtraction of vectors and basic trigonometric functions.
- Report results of investigating physical phenomena by applying scientific methods and procedures in laboratories.
- Recognize physical phenomena and technologies in everyday life.
