InstructorsInstructor of RecordDr. R.A. Lindgren, Research Professor of Physics E-mail: ral5q@virginia.edu Lecturer & Demonstrator Dr. Louis A. Bloomfield, Professor of Physics DescriptionWelcome to Phys 606, 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 605, How Things Work I, but it does not have to be taken sequentially, since it starts out with a review of Phys 605. 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 on the CDS are not rehearsed, but are edited versions of live lectures given at UVa. The lectures are on CD Roms and will be sent to you by UPS.
