PHYS 102 The Physics of Sound and Music (3). A course for the general student covering the principles of sound, with applications in the areas of music, perception, audiology, and electronic sound production. Corequisite: PHYS 122. Offered Fall Semesters.

PHYS 121 The Physics of Sound and Music Lab (1). A laboratory course developed for non-science majors covering the properties of sound. Experiments include combining sound waves, Fourier analysis, hearing tests, and applications to music. Corequisite: PHYS 102. Offered Fall Semesters.

PHYS 102/122 has no prerequisites and is a Lab Science course. Or, you can use it as your Science Perspectives course, but not both. Always remember that you need 7 hours of science to graduate. If a lab is taken with your Science Perspectives course, then you graduate with 8 hours of science.
