DEPARTMENT Physics Chain Dr. Brad Carroll Location: Science Lab, Room 202 Telephone: Nereyda Hesterberg 801-626-6163 Web Site: http://physics.weber.edu Professors: Farhang Amiri, Bradley W Carroll, J. Ronald Galli, Dale A. Ostlie, Daniel V Schroeder, John E. Sohl, Walther N. Spjeldvik; Associate Professors: Colin Inglefield, Adam Johnston; Assistant Professors: John Armstrong, Michelle L. Arnold, Stacy Palen r hysics is the study and application of the fundamental laws of nature, including the laws of motion, gravity, electromagnetism, heat, and microscopic interactions. These laws govern the behavior of objects at all scales, from the smallest subatomic particles to the entire observable universe. In between, physicists study nuclear reactions, the interactions of atoms with light, properties of solids, the chaotic dynamics of fluids, and the evolution of stars and galaxies, among many other applications.
