Introduces wave phenomena and electricity and magnetism. Throughout, the concepts related to motion learned in Introductory Physics I are used to describe and explain new phenomena. The study of waves introduces the student to propagating, periodic disturbances. In addition to their importance in mechanical phenomena (e.g., seismic waves), waves form the basis of both optics and acoustics. The study of electricity and magnetism introduces the student to the concept of charge and to the effects of charges on their surroundings (fields and forces). Students will learn series, parallel, and mixed-type circuits involving resistors and capacitors, and various analysis techniques to solve for circuit properties.
