PHYS 1201

Why the Sky Is Blue: Aspects of the Physical World

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

One of the existential problems of our time is telling the difference between something that is fake and something that is real. Physics can be a powerful tool for making such distinctions because it provides physical laws that cannot be violated. In this class you will learn about these laws and how to use them to analyze everyday phenomena. Aimed specifically at the nonscience student, this course will examine the principles of physics from a conceptual point of view, with emphasis on the methodology of science and the nature of evidence.

When Offered Fall.

Permission Note Students with credit for PHYS 1101, PHYS 1112, PHYS 1116, or PHYS 2207, or an advanced placement equivalent who wish to enroll in PHYS 1201 must obtain written permission from the instructor and the Physics director of undergraduate studies.
