Description
Welcome 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 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.
The lectures are in MP4 format and can be viewed
using the software Quicktime on your computer. When you get your UVa email and password, you may download any lecture from Blackboard.
If you do not want to download the lectures, they will be available on CDS as before from the UVa bookstore at your expense.
