The phenomena of light and sound, widely appreciated as primary media for artistic expression, have also played an important role in spurring scientific investigation of the world of nature. This course explores light and sound through their foundations in the theories of vibration and wave motion. With sound, the application to the production of musical tones is emphasized. The study of light ranges from the early investigations of Galileo, Newton, and Huygens to the work of Einstein in relativity and quantum theory. A paper is required, and some class sessions take place in the lab. A background in physics is not required.
