PH 202 General Physics
The second of a three-term sequence of introductory college physics for students who are planning to transfer credit to a four-year college or university, or for anyone desiring an understanding of physics principles. The themes of thermodynamics, waves and electricity will be explored. Specific topics include fluids, temperature, heat, thermodynamics, wave motion, sound, electrostatic force, field, potential, and circuits. This is a laboratory class.
Prerequisite
Prerequisite: Completion of PH 201 General Physics with a grade of C or better.

Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Describe and explain physical objects in simple harmonic motion. Design and conduct experiments to determine critical motion parameters of simple harmonic motion (period, frequency). Solve quantitative simple harmonic motion problems using algebra and graphical methods. Solve physics problems involving superposition of waves. Select ray optics or wave optics methods to solve real world optics problems.
