Catalog description

  • PHY 132 is a continuation of PHY 131 with focus on the studies of electricity, magnetism, circuits, waves, optics and the atomic and nuclear structure of matter. These topics will be studied using algebra and trigonometry with an emphasis on applications. It is recommended for the students majoring in natural and environmental science, software engineering and information technology.

Learning outcome

  • Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • 1. The importance of science in understanding nature
  • 2. State and apply various laws as related to electricity, magnetism and optics.
  • 3.understand the basic steps for image formation on lens and mirror and the characteristics of the images.
