Physics II Lecture & Lab Course Overview

  • PHYS 1011, Physics II Lecture & Lab, is a four-credit lecture/lab online physics course. This course provides a continuing introduction to physics that emphasizes additional concepts than those covered in PHYS 1010 that are the foundation of science and which you may encounter in your professional studies. These topics include thermodynamics, waves and sound, electrostatics, circuits, magnetism, light and optics, and atomic and nuclear phenomena.

    *This course is considered an upper-level undergraduate course (300 level or above)

Physics II Lecture & Lab Course Outcomes

  • Apply thermodynamics principles to explain various scenarios.
  • Predict auditory phenomena using wave properties of sound.
  • Design a project, collect data, and interpret results related to thermodynamics and sound.
  • Analyze electrostatic distributions and interactions.
  • Interpret simple resistive and capacitive DC circuits.
  • Explain behavior of charged particles in magnetic fields.
  • Solve geometric optics problems using ray tracing methods and equations.
  • Summarize physical principles behind observed atomic and nuclear phenomena.
  • Discuss potential health concerns associated with digital technology.
  • Produce an audio, video, or written report related to modern physics concepts of electromagnetic, atomic, or nuclear phenomena.

Physics II Lecture & Lab Course Prerequisites

  • One semester of college-level algebra (MATH 1010)
  • One semester of college-level physics (PHYS 1010)

    * Please note these prerequisites are highly suggested and support course preparedness and success. We recommend having completed the listed prerequisites before enrolling and within the past seven years.

      How do exams work?

      All exams are taken online. Major exams are required to be proctored online through ProctorU. For instructions on how to take your exams online, visit UNE Online’s ProctorU site. Please note exams must also be proctored with the UNE-approved external webcam.

      How do labs work?

      Labs will focus on discovering relationships between variables involved in our fundamental models of physics. Laboratory instructions and experiment submission forms are provided for each lab and are organized by course week/topic.
