Welcome to Phys 5B, 2013!

  • **One angle in the solution for problem 14 of midterm 2 was wrong!** It is now corrected. If your grade was affected by this, you should let me know!!! – 3:12PM, Mar 04, 2013

  • Lecture note 20 (Diffraction) has been uploaded -- please read it with some interest! Lecture+12:08PM, Mar 02, 2013

  • Solutions to midterm 2 are available in Lecture+. I had reports of font problems with the solutions?! Was this the case for you as well? (Page 2.) Let me know! – 12:08PM, Mar 02, 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.
