New ICC Natural Sciences Perspective Course: Physics of Light

By Jerome Fung, August 19, 2023

Looking for an ICC course to satisfy the Natural Sciences perspective? Interested in light and/or optical technologies? If so, consider taking PHYS 144: Physics of Light, a new course exploring the science of light and its applications. No previous physics background required!

  • What are all those controls on a fancy camera for, and how do they affect the image?
  • How do our eyes work, and how do eyeglasses and contact lenses help those who need them?
  • Why can’t you build a light microscope that can see individual atoms?

PHYS 144 meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:25 - 10:40.

Please contact the instructor, Jerome Fung (jfung@ithaca.edu) with any questions.
