Final Exam

  • What to bring: your supercomputer (AKA brain), well rested and well greased, 3 crib sheets stapled together, pencils/pens, simple calculator, and (optinally) some drink. What not to bring: everything else.

  • It will emphasize diffraction/interference and polarization slightly in the final exam, but you might feel that everything that we covered is treated more or less equally. Fluids and statics will be included, but they will not be emphasized.
  • Practice exam problems: Go to forum to find solutions (by you!). Some solutions may be provided later for tricky problems.

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

Exam – Midterm 1

Midterm 1, with solutions

  • Inlined image: Midterm1_stats.png Here is the distribution of scores for the midterm 1. The average is about 58 %, which is OK, but not great. The distribution is almost like a bell curve, but it appears to have a slight bulge at 11 and also another weaker bulge at 17 or 18. I am a bit worried about the points 11 and below. Points 17 and above could be roughly regarded as the A range (i.e., A- or higher), I think, if only this exam is to be looked at.
