Credits:3

Weekly learning hour for Lecture, Seminar, Lab, Homework: 2:1:1:5

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This is a 3-credit hour lecture, seminar, laboratory based course that requires the application of pre-requisite courses such as Physics 1, Mathematics 1 to solve real-world problems and must be completed in one semester. The Physics II course the magnetism, optics, atomic and nuclear physics, where students acquire the skills to plan experiments, perform measurements and process measurement results based on scientific principles.

Course Learning Outcomes:

Learning outcomes from the lectures and seminars:

1. Mastering the basic concepts of the magnetic field, Maxwell’s set of equations and acquire the ability to solve and explain the problems (Apply).
2. Acquiring the fundamental understandings of the alternating current circuits and the ability to perform calculations in the complex circuits (Execute)
3. Identifying the relevant physical laws and principles of geometrical optics, internal and total internal reflection and explaining the most practical applications (Explain)
4. Evaluating, assessing, and interpreting physical phenomena using the wave and particle theory of the light (Analyze)
5. Acquiring the fundamental understandings of quantum physics, and explaining the physical principles of the nanotechnology (Explain)

Learning outcomes from the laboratory lessons:

1. Applying relevant theoretical knowledge of magnetism, optics, atomic and nuclear physics to perform the experiments and measurements (Execute)
2. Developing the ability to use laboratory equipment in the field of electromagnetism and optics and evaluating, assessing, and interpreting their experimental results (Analyze)
3. Evaluating the difference between experimental and theoretical values, processing of data and errors (Analyze).
