PHYS 100L CONCEPTS IN 1 UNIT
Hours: 3 lab PHYSICS LAB CSU
An introductory lab course designed to allow the students an opportunity to become familiar with the
methods of science through doing a variety of physics experiments. Taking measurements of fundamental,
physical quantities and unit conversions will be covered. Experiments will be relevant to a number of
physics topics including material properties, kinematics, Newton’s Laws, ballistics, collisions, energy, fluids,
heat and thermodynamics, waves, sound, electrostatic charge, basic circuits, magnetism, optics, including
colors and polarization of light, spectroscopy, and radioactive materials. Co-requisite: PHYS 100.
PHYS 102 GENERAL 4 UNITS
CAN PHYS 2 PHYSICS I CSU, UC,
Hours: 3 lec, 3 lab IGETC

physics. Second part of a two-semester sequence. Prerequisites: MATH 110 with a grade “C” or better; PHYS
102 or equivalent.
PHYS 201 INTRODUCTION TO 4 UNITS
Hours: 4 lec THE HISTORY OF
PHYSICS & ITS INFLUENCE ON HUMAN THOUGHT
The history of human knowledge emphasizing inorganic matter, starting with the early developments of
humans until our days. The technological prehistoric development. The first scientific system—Aristotle, the
middle age progresses. Heliocentrism and the development of classic physics. The post-Newton physics.
The modern concepts of matter and Universe. For each period, philosophical concepts are examined as
influenced by the state of scientific knowledge.
