UNDERGRADUATE SUBJECTS<br />
Ph. 1 a, b, c. Mechanics, Molecular Physics, Heat, and Sound. 12 units<br />
3-3-6); first, second and third terms.<br />
Prerequisites: A high school course, or its equivalent, and trigonometry.<br />
The first year of a general college course in physics extending through two<br />
ears. It is a thorough analytical course, in which the laboratory carries the<br />
Qread of the work, and the problem method is largely used. A bi-weekly demonceation<br />
lecture, participated in by all members of the department, adds the<br />
lspirational and informational element, and serves for the development of breadth<br />
f view.<br />
Text: Mechanics, MoleculaT Physics, Heat, and Sound, Millikan, Roller and<br />
Vatson.<br />
Instructors: Watson, Neher, Strong, and Teaching Fellows.<br />
Ph. 2 a, b, c. Light, Electricity, and Electron Physics. 12 units (3-3-6),<br />
rst and second terms; 8 units, third term.<br />
Prerequisites: A high school course, or its equivalent, and trigonometry.<br />
Continuation of Ph. 1 a, b, c, to form a well-rounded two-year course in<br />
eneral physics.<br />
Text: Electricity, Light and Atomic Physics, Millikan, Roller and Watson.<br />
Instructors: Anderson, and Teaching Fellows.<br />
Ph. 2 d. Physics Review. 4 units; last three weeks of sophomore year.<br />
The last three weeks of the sophomore year are devoted to a comprehensive<br />
eview and examination covering the whole of the two years' work (Ph. 1 a, b, c,<br />
nd 2 a, b, c).<br />
Ph. 3. Modern Physics. 12 units (2-6-4); third term.<br />
Prerequisites: Ph. 1 a, b, c, 2 a, b; Ma. 2 a, b.<br />
A brief survey of recent developments in electron theory, quantum theory,<br />
dioactivity, and atomic structure. Experiments to determine e, elm, h, and other<br />
undamental constants will be performed. Open only to students on honor standing,<br />
phomore year.<br />
Instructor: Anderson.
