Objectives for PHY 202 College Physics II
This course covers physics topics, including mechanics, wave motion, sound, heat electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics. The prerequisite is Physics 201. The general objectives are to promote an interest in physics, to enable the student to more thoroughly understand the concepts of physics in general, to enable the student to apply knowledge to a specific problem in a systematic manner, and to enable the student to develop skill in handling apparatus and to practice the procedures of making accurate measurements and presenting results in a scientific report. Specific objectives are upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to solve problems or answer questions dealing with and to understand the concepts of
