Physics 102 is an introductory, conceptual oriented course with quantitative applications in general physics with special emphasis placed on topics related to everyday experience.  Topics include motion, work, energy, sound, heat, light, optics, electricity, magnetism, and some atomic and nuclear physics.  This is a introductory course for students majoring in the physical sciences.  This course is a prerequisite for Physics 121.  The associated lab, physics 102L, is required with this course.  Physics 102 and Physics 102L satisfy the G.E. laboratory science requirement.  The intent of this course is to introduce basic physical laws and to develop the language in the physical sciences.  The skill advisories are English 110 and Math 107/111.  (TR: CSU; UC Transfer Limit)
