Description
Welcome to Phys 6060, How Things Work II. This is a course in
conceptual
physics that focuses on objects that involve electricity, magnetism,
light,
radiation, and nuclear energy. It is a continuation of Phys 6050, How
Things
Work I, but it does not have to be taken sequentially, since it starts
out
with a review of Phys 6050. The demonstrator and lecturer is Professor
Lou
Bloomfield who has originated and developed the courses How Things Work
I
and II at UVa. The lectures are not rehearsed, but are
edited
versions of live lectures given at UVa. To view a sample lecture, click
on radio button Sample Lecture Videos on the course home page.
The lectures are in MP4 format and can be viewed
using the software Quicktime on your computer. When you get access to
Collab, you may download any lecture from the radio button on Collab.
