Continuation of PHSCS 105. Topics include electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, and optics.
BYU Independent Study does not offer Applied Physics Laboratories. If students require a physics laboratory, it is recommended that they enroll concurrently in an introductory applied physics laboratory at their local college, in which case they will need to correlate the topics covered in their laboratory with those in this course.
The exams are only available to be taken in a paper format. Please plan for shipping time.
