Description

This course provides an in-depth, calculus-based exploration of thermodynamics, waves, and optics principles, integrating calculus to enhance understanding and problem-solving skills. Students will delve into the laws of thermodynamics, examining energy transfer, entropy, and the behavior of gases. The course will also cover the fundamentals of wave phenomena, including sound and light waves, interference, diffraction, and polarization. In the optics section, students will study the behavior of light, optical instruments, and the principles of reflection, refraction, and lens systems.
