BULLETIN OF HOWARD PAYNE COLLEGE
PHYSICS 302. (Formerly 231.) SOUND AND ACOUSTICS. A study
will be made of the fundamentals of Sound and Acoustics. Additional
topics studied will be wave motion, reflection, refraction,
diffration, interference of sound waves, the Doppler Effect, interference
and combination tones, speech and hearing, music and
noise reflection, absorption, and transmission of sound. Prerequisites,
Physics 101 and 102 or six semester hours in the Music
Department. Three semester hours.
PHYSICS 303. (Formerly 224.) VACUUM TUBES AND THEIR
CIRCUITS. A study of the fundamental properties of the Vacuum
Tube and its application to basic communication circuits. Class
A-AB-A and C Amplifiers will be treated in general, as will
also vacuum tube application in rectifier and oscillator circuits.
Prerequisite, Physics 203. Three semester hours.
PHYSICS 304. (Formerly 211.) DESCRIPTIVE ASTRONOMY. A
study will be made of our complete solar system including the
motion of the earth and moon. Identification and location of constellations
will be included as well as comets, meteors, nebulae,
in the preparation of a sky map. A part of the laboratory work
will be the construction and calibration of a sun dial. Credit 3
hours.
PHYSICS 401. (Formerly 215.) OPTICS AND SPECTROSCOPY. Attention
will be given to the nature and propagation of light, interference,
reflection, diffraction, refraction, polarization and the
theory of optical instruments. This study will include the X-ray,
infra-red, ultra violet and physical phenomena in optics and spectroscopy.
Three semester hours.
PHYSICS 402. (Formerly 223.) FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS.
A study will be made of the behavior of Electrons in electrical
circuits leading to an understanding of the principles of electromagnetic
radiation, the application of Ohm's Law to DC and AC
circuits, resistors and resistance, coils and inductants, condensers
and capacitance, AC impedance, turned circuits, rectification, and
amplification. Prerequisites, Physics 101, 102. Three semester
hours.
PHYSICS 403. (Formerly 205.) NUCLEAR PHYSICS. A study will
be made of the present theories as to atomic structures, electronics,
ionization of gases, radioactivity, photo-electric effects, and
the nature of radiant energy. Prerequisite, Physics 101 and 102,
and Chemistry 101 and 102. Lectures and laboratory work with 3
hours credit.136
