For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course is designed to give you the scientific understanding you need to answer questions like - How much energy can we really get from wind? - How does a solar photovoltaic work? - What is an OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Converter) and how does it work? - What is the physics behind global warming? - What makes engines efficient? - How does a nuclear reactor work, and what are the realistic hazards? The course is designed for MIT sophomores, juniors, and seniors who want to understand the fundamental laws and physical processes that govern the sources, extraction, transmission, storage, degradation, and end uses of energy.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-21Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmJaffe, RobertTaylor, Washington2009-06-03T03:24:11-04:008.21en-USPhysicsPhysics, GeneralSolar Energy Technology/Techniciannuclear reactorOTECsolar photovoltaicnuclear radiationenergy conservationenergy storageclimate changehydro powerocean thermal energy conversioneothermal powerthermal energybiological energy sourcesnuclear energywind energysolar energyenergyMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

Newton's laws, concepts of momentum, energy, angular momentum, rigid body motion, and non-inertial systems. Uses elementary calculus freely. Concurrent registration in a math subject more advanced than 18.01 is recommended. In addition to the theoretical subject matter, several experiments in classical mechanics are performed by the students in the laboratory.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-012Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmBurgasser, Adam2009-05-12T01:17:05-04:008.012en-USPhysicsEngineering Mechanicsnon-inertialrigid body motionangular momentumenergymomentumNewton's lawselementary mechanicsMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmJunior Lab consists of two undergraduate courses in experimental physics. The courses are offered by the MIT Physics Department, and are usually taken by Juniors (hence the name). Officially, the courses are called Experimental Physics I and II and are numbered 8.13 for the first half, given in the fall semester, and 8.14 for the second half, given in the spring. The purposes of Junior Lab are to give students hands-on experience with some of the experimental basis of modern physics and, in the process, to deepen their understanding of the relations between experiment and theory, mostly in atomic and nuclear physics. Each term, students choose 5 different experiments from a list of 21 total labs.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-13-14Fall-2007-Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmBecker, UlrichJarillo-Herrero, PabloMatthews, JuneRoland, Gunther2009-01-21T01:42:26-05:008.13-14en-USPhysicsAtomic/Molecular PhysicsPhysics, GeneralNuclear PhysicslaserDoppler-freesuperconductivityX-Ray physicsspectroscopyMössbauerrubidiumZeeman effectradio astrophysicsalpha decayquantum mechanicsshot noiseJohnson noiseneutron physicsemission spectraRutherford Scatteringcosmic-ray muonsspin echoesnuclear magnetic resonancerelativistic dynamicsFranck-Hertz experimentcompton scatteringelectromagnetic pulsestatisticspoissonphotoelectric effectopticsphysicsnuclearatomicexperimentalJunior LabMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
