concepts and the mathematics (including vector calculus) that support them. In particular we will focus on the role of our

understanding of electromagnetic radiation in the development of atomic theory and the natural outgrowth of laboratory techniques

that accompanied this development—namely, the various forms of spectroscopy—along with their roles in laboratory

analysis. Wherever possible, we will apply our learning to applications in the real world, including those associated with organic

chemistry and environmental issues. As time and resources permit, we will also supplement our learning with hands-on laboratory

activities.

AP Physics C: Mechanics and Electromagnetism (12) – 1.0 credit Prerequisite: successful completion of physics and either completion or concurrent enrollment in Calculus.

This course ordinarily forms the first part of the college sequence that serves as the foundation in physics for students majoring in the

calculus are used wherever appropriate in formulating physical principles and in applying them to physical problems. The sequence is

more intensive and analytic than that in the B course. Strong emphasis is placed on solving a variety of challenging problems, some

requiring calculus. The subject matter of the C course is principally mechanics and electricity and magnetism, with approximately

equal emphasis on these two areas.
