PHYS 126A - Principles of Physics II - Discussion Units: 1 Supplemental discussion section taken concurrently with PHYS 126 focused on problem solving strategies and in-depth review of topics from the lecture.
Prerequisites: PHYS 125. Co-requisites: PHYS 126. Possible Instructional Methods: On-ground. Grading: A-F or CR/NC (student choice). Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to: - Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental principles of Physics by applying these core ideas to analyze physical processes and solve problems for the following topics: Electricity and Magnetism, Optics (including both wave and ray optics), Superposition and Standing Waves, Electric Circuits, Relativity, Quantum Physics; wave particle duality ad particle in a box, Atoms and Molecules; spectroscopy and band theory of solids, Nuclear Physics; radioactivity and half-life dating
- Students will apply quantitative reasoning and critical thinking to solve complex problems, both theoretical and experimental in nature. Students will apply the physical principles introduced to solve basic problems, often very similar to those demonstrated in class and in lecture, learning the techniques and systematic approaches forming the required groundwork for solving novel and complex problems.
