PHYS& 223 Engineering Physics III with Lab

• Describe oscillations mathematically and solve problems involving simple harmonic motion
• Recognize the component of a wave and relate those components to mechanical vibrations, sound, and decibel level
• Demonstrate how waves originate and propagate in different environments and distinguish the difference between longitudinal and transversal waves
• Solve problems related to wave‐wave and wave‐matter interactions, the Doppler effect, diffraction, and interference 
• Identify and solve problems with different types of waves such as waves on a string, sound waves, and EM waves
• Demonstrate how to use ray diagrams to produce images by mirrors and thin lenses
• Describe photons and matter waves, wave-particle duality, photoelectric effect, and quanta of waves
• Explain both the power and limitations of a Maxwell’s equations approach in the conceptualization and design of engineered creations, especially regarding EM/optical communications
• Describe Bohr’s model of hydrogen, blackbody radiation, uncertainty principle, wave functions, and the Schrodinger equation
• Solve problems involving fluid mechanics, hydraulics, Archimedes’ principle, Bernoulli equations, heat capacity, and equipartition of energy and laws of thermodynamics
• Describe thermodynamic cycle in the heat engine and apply to daily applications
• Demonstrate techniques to set up and perform experiments, collect data from those experiments, record experimental work completely and accurately in laboratory notebooks, formulate conclusions from an experiment and communicate experimental results clearly in written reports
