Welcome to Phys 5B, 2013!
Some key paragraphs from my recent emails.
As have been marked all along in the calendar of the course web site, the 2nd midterm is upon us -- it will be held next Monday (Feb 25) during class. The format will be much the same as the first midterm: you are allowed your own letter-paper-sized cribsheet and there will be multiple choice questions followed by short write-up questions.
Midterm 2 will cover chapters 16, 32, 33, and 34, while the coverage of chapter 34 will be very light (cf. practice exam).
The practice exam for midterm 2 is posted. Please follow the "SQ" link above. If you answer or discuss those questions in the practice exam, you will get some extra credits. Also, practice exam 2 is available for downloading from Lecture+. – 10:54AM, Feb 19, 2013
An extra credit question on compound microscope has just been posted. – 4:22PM, Feb 13, 2013
Welcome to the second part of Physics 5!
In this course, we will continue the exploration of the introductory physics. We will start with the simple harmonic oscillator. Then, we will study waves in general. This will lead to geometric optics and related topics. Lastly, we will come back to fluids and statics. If we somehow run out of time, we might leave some topics like fluids for reading only. I like to go through the simple harmonic oscillator and waves, slowly but surely, so that we cover these supremely important topics well enough.
