GSCI 101 Physics, Chemistry, and the Human Experience

GSCI 121 Physical Nature of Light and Sound
GSCI121 is designed to acquaint the nonscience major with some basic concepts in physics as they apply to the production, propagation, and analysis of light and sound waves. GSCI 121 includes topics on the physical description of both light and sound waves, the two models needed for describing the nature of light, methods of light and sound production, the spectral analysis of sound and light waves, wave propagation in various media, and some particular applications (e.g., musical instruments, room acoustics, optical instruments, color).

PHY240: University Physics I

PHY250: University Physics II
PHYS 250 fulfills the Physics Department's mission by serving as:
1.     one of the starting points for the degree program in physics.
2.     a required course for students in certain other degree program.
3.     part of a sequence applicable toward GenEd requirements

PHY270: Modern Physics I
A course in modern physics, consisting of a discussion of the experimental basis for and fundamental principles of quantum physics, with applications to atomic structure and nuclear physics.
