No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1974–75; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Electric fields and potential, D.C. circuits, magnetic fields, A.C. generators and circuits, elementary electronics. The thin lens equations, diffraction, resolution of optical instruments, the eye; camera, telescope and microscope, coherent-light, colour, polarization, birefringence and photometry. 3 lectures, and a tutorial period on alternate weeks, Winter term. The one year-sequence Physics 101*-102* is primarily intended for students who plan to proceed in Biology, Biology and Chemistry, or Earth Sciences.
As printed in the 1972–73 to 1974–75 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Mechanics: the conservation laws as applied to particles and rigid bodies of simple geometry. Properties of matter: elasticity, viscous flow, diffusion, surface effects, weight. Modern physics (excluding topics covered in Chemistry 131): atomic and nuclear models, radioactivity, the detection and uses of radiation, dating. Heat flow and elementary thermodynamics. 3 lectures, winter term.
The one-year sequence Physics 101*-102* is not normally followed by upper year Physics courses and is intended for students registered in the Year I Science programme who intend to proceed in Biology, Biology and Chemistry, or Earth Sciences. (It may be used as a prerequisite for Physics 301*-302*)
