PHYS 131 Waves and Light

This course explores both mechanical wave and electromagnetic (light) wave properties and behaviors. Wave motion will be described pictorially, graphically and mathematically in order to investigate the characteristics of the wave. Interactions with light and matter will be studied with a particular focus on basic optics. The material will be covered at a high level under the presumption that students are able to perform basic algebraic and geometry calculations
