PHYS 202 — C College Physics II 4 Units
Term hours: 54 lecture and 54 laboratory. This is the second half of an algebra and trigonometry based two-semester sequence ( PHYS 201 C and 202 C ) designed primarily for students planning to major in life sciences, medical/dental fields, architecture, psychology, and similar professional fields. This course covers electricity and magnetism, optics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and special theory of relativity. The laboratory portion of the course investigates these topics both qualitatively and quantitatively, and includes the use of graphing, statistics, and propagation of errors. This course satisfies a requirement for biology majors in the CSU system but not the UC system. (UC Credit Limitation/CSU, AA GE, Cal-GETC, C-ID: PHYS 110 and PHYS 100S= PHYS 201 C + PHYS 202 C ).
