Physics.

(Two branches count as one subject for examination. In each branch there will be an elementary and advanced course, and each course will be complete in one term.)

Heat.—Expansion of Gases, Liquids, and Solids—Thermo meters—Calorimeters—Conduction—Convection—Specific Heat—Latent Heat—Mechanical Equivalent—Energy, Kinetic and Potential—Steam Engines—Radiant Heat—Athermic and Diathermic Bodies—Reflection—Refraction—Calorescence—Sources of Energy—General Principles of Thermodynamics—Thermal Influence of Cosmical Changes.

Sound and Light.—Properties of the Air—Production, Propagation, Reflection, Refraction and Velocity of Sound—Sonorous Vibrations in Strings, Rods, Pipes, and Plates—Musical Scale—Quality of Sound—Ear and Larynx, modes of Analysis of Complex Tones. Sources, Propagation, Measurement' Reflection, Refraction, and Velocity of Light, Colour—the Spectrum and the Spectroscope—Fluorescence and Phosphorescence—Interference—Diffraction—Polarization—the Eve and Optical Instruments—Solar and Stellar Spectroscopy.

Magnetism and Electricity—Magnetic Attraction—Polarity—Directive Power—Repulsion—Dipping and Compass Needles—Diamagnetism—Development of Frictional Electricity—Conduction and Insulation—Distribution—Machines—Leyden Jars—Voltaic Batteries—Heating. Lighting. Magnetic* Chemical, and Physiological Effects of the Current—Ohm's Law, Potential. Electro-Magnetic and other Induction Machines—Land and Ocean Telegraphy—Electro-Plating—Electro-Dynamics.

Senior Physics Students will take Junior Chemistry first term and Physical Laboratory second term.
