PHYS 220 - Fundamentals of Physics II

3 Credits
This course is the second in a two-course sequence introducing students to the fundamentals of physics. This course builds on the knowledge learned in Fundamentals of Physics I. The physical properties of electricity, magnetism, optics, relativity, and nuclear physics will be discussed.

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 210 and PHYS 210L
Corequisite(s): PHYS 220L
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Analyze real world challenges using critical thinking and the scientific method.
2. Evaluate potential solution methodologies to efficiently address real world challenges.
3. Develop conceptual models to describe physical phenomena quantitatively.
4. Utilize mathematics to solve these models and obtain meaningful answers.
5. Analyze the reasonableness of these solutions.
6. Apply the basic physical properties of matter, heat, wave motion, electromagnetism, and light.
7. Conduct basic experimentation to confirm or disprove hypotheses.
8. Apply laboratory writing skills to formulate technical documentation.
