ETSU Physics and Astronomy General Information Mission The Department of Physics educates the citizens of East Tennessee and the surrounding region in the nature of physical principles, increasing awareness of natural processes that occur in everyday life. The Department of Physics: - Provides and strengthens instructional programs for students who wish to major or minor in physics, and provides necessary service courses to support and enhance other disciplines. - Extends, enhances, and develops research programs to increase the scope and depth of understanding of physics, The research programs directly involve undergraduate students in a meaningful and enriched research environment. - Provides necessary service functions to students and the general public to enrich the community in awareness in physical principles. - In all of its activities, the Department of Physics supports the goals and objectives of East Tennessee State University in general, and the College of Arts and Sciences in particular. Overview of Physics and Astronomy Physics is the study of the properties of matter, energy, radiation, and their interactions. It is generally regarded as basic to all the natural sciences, and as such is a fundamental part of the professional preparation of biologists, chemists, engineers, astronomers, and other scientists and technologists.

Physics 101A Modern Physics Winter 1999 I will maintain a web page for this course, where you will be able to find course information, homework assignments, homework and exam solutions, and so forth. The address (URL) is given on the first page of the syllabus. Hard copies of the handouts and solution sets will also be kept in the reserves of the science library. The required textbook includes, in an appendix, a short introduction to Special Relativity, including all that we will cover in this course. The recommended text on relativity, however, goes to much greater length to explain the history and ideas behind the theory. I strongly encourage you to make at least a first pass at the required reading assignment before the relevant lecture. If you follow that practice and in class concentrate on understanding the material and asking questions, then you will get much more out of the lectures than if you are just concentrating on writing down everything on the blackboard, upon seeing it for the first time. A set of homework problems will be given out each week, usually due on Thursday, as indicated in the syllabus. You are welcome to collaborate on the homework, but your final solutions should be written up by yourself (I don’t want to see multiple exact copies of the same solution). You are also encouraged to seek help on the homework, whenever necessary, from the TA and myself. While my office hours are the most convenient time for me to meet with you, if you have an urgent question that cannot wait or a conflict with my office hours, please feel free to drop in at any time during the workday. If I am not in my office, then I can usually be found around the SCIPP area in Nat. Sci. II. For example, be sure to check my lab in Room 369.

Physics 110b, General Information A set of homework problems will be given out each week on Tuesday, due the following Thursday, for a total of nine assignments. You are welcome to collaborate on the homework, but your final solutions should be written up by yourself (I don’t want to see multiple exact copies of the same solution). You are also encouraged to seek help on the homework, whenever necessary, from the TA and myself. While my office hours are the most convenient time for me to meet with you, if you have an urgent question that cannot wait, please feel free to drop in at any time during the workday, call me by phone, or send email. If I am not in my office, then I can often be found around my labs in the SCIPP area in Nat. Sci. II (Rooms 361 and 369). Grades and evaluations will be determined from the homework, the midterm exam, and the final exam, with the following approximate weights: Homework: 30% Midterm exam: 30% Final exam: 40% I give a relatively heavy weight to the homework, in spite of the fact that students may collaborate and otherwise obtain assistance, because it is crucial that you work the problems in order to become proficient with the material. You will be expected to make a serious attempt at all of the assigned problems. For practical reasons, the exam problems cannot be nearly as lengthy as the most difficult homework problems. Nevertheless, please do not skip over a homework problem just because, for example, there is a 3-dimensional integral involved!

Traveller became a familiar and beloved figure among Confederate troops and helped Lee through many battles. After the war, Traveller went with the general to his post at Washington College and lost many hairs from his tail to admirers who wanted a souvenir. Traveller outlived Lee and walked behind the hearse at his funeral. Today Traveller's remains are buried near Lee's on the campus of Washington and Lee College in Lexington, Virginia.

Course Description PHY 222 is a 1-credit course designed as a required co-requisite of PHY 212, General Physics II. It meets in sections of 25 students or fewer in Physics Building Room 108. Each section meets once per week for two hours, on Monday or Wednesday. Course Objectives Physics can seem like a daunting subject, especially for beginners. It makes use of mathematics, logical reasoning, and a level of abstraction that are unfamiliar to most students. You are meeting serious physics for the first time in PHY 211 and 212. Our main goal in PHY 222 is to make measurements of the physical world. The reason is to help you to connect the concepts of physics that you are learning in PHY 212 with what they signify in the real world. You will learn about concepts like electric charge, electric and magnetic fields, current and voltage in electrical circuits, among others. On the one hand these are abstractions, but they are all connected to things that can be seen and felt.

One way is a battery, which does so by chemical processes. However, the current which we use every day in our home is generated in other waysby electric generators, dynamos. All dynamos are based on principles found by Michael Faraday in a wire or electric conductor that moves through the region of magnetic forces magnetic field But the conductor can also be a conducting fluid We believe that the uneven rotation of the hot gases on the Sunfastest near the equator, as the motion of sunspots showshelps create electric currents in this manner. Not all details of the process are understood, because we can only guess what goes on under the surface of the Sun, in regions we cannot see, but the web site explains some of the ideas.

4 Freedoms Sexual Magnetism: Pheromones - The Scent of Sex by Al Link and Pala Copeland Urban Male Magazine, Winter 2001 All this time you thought it was sculpted muscles, dazzling smiles and fast cars that were surefire babe magnets. Well have we got news for you. What really drives women wild are naturally occurring body chemicals called pheromones. The name pheromone comes from two Greek words pheran (to transfer) and horman (to excite). According to Dr. Winnifred Cutler, pheromones are “substances excreted by an animal that affect the reproductive behavior of another same-species animal acting at a distance.” Since 1870 when the French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre discovered male moths flying from miles away to visit a female moth caged in his lab, scientists have known about and documented the effects of pheromones on mating in insect and animal species. For example male cockroaches go wild when exposed to a glass rod covered with female cockroach pheromones, and attempt to mate with it! A randy boar opens his mouth and puffs out a breath laden with pheromones that freeze a sow in heat. It wasn’t until 1986, however that Dr. Cutler, director of Pennsylvania’s Athena Intstitute, proved the existence of human pheromones and began to document their effects. In humans, pheromones are activated at puberty. Both men and women produce varying amounts of “male” pheromones: androstenone and androstenol, only women secrete the “female” pheromone copulins. Produced by the apocrine glands in the armpit and around the genitals pheromones send signals that are picked up by the vemeronasal organ (VNO), just inside the nose. The VNO passes these messages on to the limbic part of the brain which governs the most basic human sensations, like joy, anger, love, hate and sexual arousal.
