Abstract:
|
Physics in Entertainment and The Arts Lab is a science core course that serves approximately 500 non-science students per year. This course is designed to explore the physics of everyday objects with a few basics ideas and minimal technical equipment. We focus on waves of sound and light and how they shape music and the visual arts. One of the most appreciated labs involves making a speaker out of a coil of wire, a plastic cup, and a magnet (after using the coil and magnet to explore the relationship between electricity, magnetism and motion.) This activity fascinates students at all levels, including faculty. To paraphrase one student "Heavy Metal out of a plastic cup is (amazing)!"
