| * '''Midterm is over.''' Check solutions ([[Homework+]]) and fill in the gaps of understanding, if possible. Much of it would continue to matter for the final exam, also, since we will continue doing waves, and interference, and so on, just with a different wave (light) for the next few lectures. Also, while you are at [[Homework+]], '''remember to download Homework 5''' if you did not pick up a hardcopy right after the exam.—~-''<<DateTime(2014-02-14T17:09:28-0800)>>''-~ | * The practice exam for the final is up. Please find it in [[Homework+]]. On next Monday, I will provide answers, but in the mean time, my recommendation is that you try to provide your best answers in the forum.—~-''<<DateTime(2014-03-12T15:49:56-0800)>>''-~ |

Welcome to Physics 5B, 2014!
The practice exam for the final is up. Please find it in Homework+. On next Monday, I will provide answers, but in the mean time, my recommendation is that you try to provide your best answers in the forum.—4:49PM, Mar 12, 2014

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.
