1 Physics 1, PHYS 101N:
The course covers the basics of mechanics and properties of matter including the topics;
Physical quantities, units, coordinates, and dimensions. Vectors and their characteristics. kinematic equations, and laws of motion including Newton's laws. Energy and the work – Kinetic energy theorem as well as the principle of energy conservation. Pressure, density and fundamentals of fluid mechanics, law of Archimedes and viscosity, Bernoulli’s equation and its applications.
2 Physics 2, PHYS 132N:
The course introduces the fundamentals of electricity covering the topics of properties of the electric charge, electrostatic force (Coulomb force), electric field, Gauss’s Law, the electric potential and potential difference, capacitance and capacitors, electric current, Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, DC networks of resistors, batteries, and capacitors. It also introduce the basic concepts of magnetism offering the topics of magnetic field and magnetic flux, laws of Biot-Savart, Ampere, Faraday and Lenz, inductance, coils and LR circuits.
3 Physics 3, PHYS 201:
It is an introductory course for more advanced courses in thermodynamics and waves. It presents the basics of heat and thermal energy in a way of measurements, interactions, ways of transfer and applications. It also presents the simple harmonic motion and the sinusoidal wave, interference and superposition of waves and finally sound waves and its properties.
4 Waves, PHYS 208N:
The course emphasize on simple harmonic movement and equivalents - compound pendulum – Complex harmonic motion - Lissajous curve – Damped oscillation - Forced vibration, resonance and its applications - the phenomenon of diffraction - diffraction grating and its properties - polarization and its applications.
5 Biophysics, PHYS 408N:
In the Biophysics course, we will depend on the skills that have already acquired in the disciplines of mathematics, chemistry, and physics in order to guide students towards solving problems in biology. There will be also some new concepts which may not be familiar to students will be developed gradually.
The course will also stress on how use physics to define and solve problems that concern several aspects in our lives specially that concern our health (diagnostic and therapeutic).
6 Panel discussions and research graduation, PHYS 412N:
This course is a complementary course to prepare students for scientific research by proposing certain point in either theoretical or practical physics and conducting the research under supervision of one of the academic staff in the department. By the end of the research, the student will submit a thesis and/or present her research in the presence of departmental academic staff for evaluation.
7 Laboratory Physics 1, PHYS 306N:
In this practical course, we depend on some theoretical aspects the students have learned before in different courses as in modern physics, optics, waves, electricity and electronics.
The course help the students to develop their thinking and practice several physical concepts.
8 Laboratory Physics 2, PHYS 407N:
In the practical physics 2 course we will depend on the gained skills from nuclear physics as well as solid state physics starting from understanding theoretical basics passing through analyzing theoretical perspectives and integrating interrelated issues There will be also some new concepts which may not be familiar to students will be developed gradually. The covered experiments are:
Operating voltage of Geiger Muller counter - Dead time determinations and Statistical analysis of nuclear random disintegration - Gamma spectral analysis - Electron spin resonance- Inverse square law - 9 Physics 1, PHYS 202:
A calculus-based introductory course to fundamental phenomena in physics for science students. Topics covered include: Newton’s laws; momentum, energy and associated conservation laws; simple harmonic motion; properties of matter; fluid mechanics; Heat and introduction to thermodynamics; interactions between charges, resistive direct-current circuits; magnetism; geometrical optics.
