PHYS 102-Spring 2003

Concepts of Physics II

There are no prerequisites for this class.

If you took PHYS 101, be aware that about 20% of that class will be covered again in PHYS 102.

This is necessary to provide a foundation for this semester's topics.

This semester we will cover several topics, including

Newton's laws,

quantum physics,

radioactivity and nuclear physics,

and the atomic bomb.
