PHY3204 ENVIRONMENTAL PHYSICS II

This course covers offered to third year undergraduate physics students. It covers heat conduction, friction and lubrication, hazards, and thin film technology. It also covers the study of the atmosphere, heat and mass transfer
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, the student should be able to

• Discuss the atmosphere and its constituents;
• Describe how heat and mass transfers takes place in the atmosphere;
• Discuss awareness of hazards due to faulty connection     
• Describe the hydrological cycle and thermodynamic effects of water vapour in the atmosphere   
• Perform experiments to link theory to practical aspects
