Laboratory Course: (Instructor Dr. Byrne) PHY214.01 Physics Laboratory I, T 1:30-4:30, CA 102PHY214.02 Physics Laboratory I, R 1:30-4:30, CA 102 PHY 222 (Lecture) and PHY 214 (Laboratory) are to be taken concurrently. They are corequisites of one another. Students will receive a grade in each course, which are independent of each other. Course Goals: The mission of Spring Hill College states, “…we strive to awaken mind and spirit to the pursuit of truth and an ever-deepening appreciation of the beauty of creation.” One means of appreciating such beauty is by carefully studying the physical universe. As the first paragraph of our text states, “The beauty of physics lies in the simplicity of its fundamental theories and in the manner in which just a small number of basic concepts, equations, and assumptions can alter and expand our view of the world around us.” Physics is an experimental science based on controlled observations and the synthesis of these observations into well-defined, self-consistent mathematical constructions (theories) consistent with all observations. Physics involves the quantitative analysis of physical interactions of matter on widely varying length and time scales, from small to huge numbers of interacting constituents (electrons, atoms, molecules, galaxies, etc.). A fundamental goal of physics is to provide a quantitative understanding of the elementary rules at work in our universe. The primary goal of the physics sequence is to give the student a unified view of physics. This is accomplished by studying the basic principles of classical physics, their mathematical representations, experimental methods of verification, and their limitations. Emphasis of the lecture component is placed on understanding and applying the basic principles of physics in the form of problem solving.

Course Description:PHY 222 and PHY 214 are organized around a basic principle – Education for the common good of the global community. PHY 222 and PHY 214 are the second of a two-semester sequence in Physics. The course covers wave motion, classical electromagnetic theory, and optics. In wave motion the course will include material on mechanical waves, superposition, and standing waves. In electromagnetic theory the content includes Coulomb’s Law, electric fields, electric potentials, Gauss’ Law, Ampere’s Law, Faraday’s Law and electromagnetic waves. In optics the course includes material on geometric optics (including reflection, refraction, mirrors, and lenses) and physical optics, including interference and diffraction. Course Objectives: After completion of PHY 222 and the accompanying laboratory PHY 214 students will be able to-    demonstrate a clear understanding of wave motion, electromagnetic theory and optics,-    demonstrate problem-solving skills,-    demonstrate the proper use of scientific words, both in writing and orally,-    demonstrate skills in measuring physical quantities,-    demonstrate the ability to record, interpret, and express the results of laboratory experiments in a clear and concise laboratory report,-    demonstrate the ability to use the following computer programs: Fit Kit, Math Cad, Precision Timer, Data Monitor and Power Amplifier.

 1. Text: Principles of Physics (4th ed.) by Serway and Jewett, Saunders College Publishing

 2. Evaluation  (a) Exams There will be three 60 minute examinations during the semester counting 100 points each

(300 points total, 50% of final grade).  (b) Final Exam The final exam will be a comprehensive examination counting 200 points (33.33% of

final grade). You must obtain a minimum grade of 50% on the final exam to receive a passing grade in PHY 222.

  (c) Homework and Quizzes There will typically be a quiz once a week when exams are not

scheduled. Homework for each chapter must be turned in for completion credit. All the quizzes and homework throughout the semester will sum to 100 points (16.77% of final grade).

 The quizzes are from the assigned homework problems and are intended as a guide to help you stay up to speed with the course, correct any misconceptions that may be present from the previous lecture, and to prepare for the exams.

(d) Final Grade (average) = 1/6 (Exam 1 + Exam 2 + Exam 3 + Final Exam + Quiz/HW Average)  Grade Scale (%): A = 90-100, B = 80-89, C = 70-79, D = 60-69, F = 0-59. + and – grades are given

as appropriate as determined by the instructor.  (e) Make-up Exam Policy: Exams are given only when scheduled. No make up exams and/or

quizzes will be given.

 4. Homework: Questions and problems will be assigned for each chapter. A listing of the assigned

questions and problems is attached.  5. Attendance Policy: Attendance is expected at every class. WP/WFs are given rarely and only at the

discretion of the instructor. 6. Policy Statement on Students with Disabilities: Students who wish to receive disabilities

accommodations should contact Mrs. Dunklin, Coordinator for Student Support Services at 380-3470 as soon as possible so that warranted accommodations can be arranged. Her office is located in Student Academic Services, 1st Floor, Administration Building.

Course Administration: Laboratory Component – PHY 214 Corequisite: PHY 222 The laboratory is designed to complement the lecture, PHY 222. However, they are independent courses. Course Objectives: To provide hands-on experience in recording and interpreting data and to promote an appreciation for scientific experimental methods. Content: The following 11 experiments will be performed during the semester not necessarily in the order listed. A written lab report will be submitted at the end of each laboratory period.

Experiment Number in Lab Manual Experimental Title

12 Waves on a String 13 Speed of Sound 14 The Electric Field: Mapping Electric Potential 15 Magnetic Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor 16 Ohm’s Law 17 Resistors in Series and Parallel 19 Mass of an Atom 18 RC Circuits 20 The Convergent Thin Lens and Spherical Mirror 21 Diffraction Grating 22 Charge to Mass Ratio of an Electron

Each student is required to maintain a data book. The data book entries for each experiment should include:

- Experiment # and Title - Date of Experiment - Partner’s Name (if applicable) - Purpose/objective of the experiment - Data: Record all data directly in your data book. If there are any errors

made, do not erase what you have entered, but cross it out neatly. Record data in tabular form, if possible.

- Calculations and Results: Record results in tabular form if possible. - Analysis of Data and Conclusions: Each student should write their data

analysis and conclusions independent of their lab partner. Students will be expected to convey their knowledge in a clear, concise manner using standard English.

given if more than two laboratories are missed. A 10-point grading scale will be used. + and – grades may be given as appropriate. Attendance Policy: There are no excused absences. Each student is required to be present for each laboratory. WP/WFs are given rarely and only at the discretion of the instructor. Make-up Policy: If the student missed a laboratory assignment because of some serious reason, it is the student’s responsibility to arrange with the laboratory instructor a make-up period at the convenience of the instructor. Withdrawl from Lecture: PHY 214 is to accompany PHY 223. If a student withdraws from PHY 222 (lecture), the student is also required to withdraw from PHY 214 laboratory.
