| * '''<<color("NO Mastering Physics and NO i-Clicker will be used in this course.")>>''' '''Do NOT buy them.''' This is a big difference from the last year, since we used both then. Keep this important difference in mind when/if you browse through the last year’s website, some links of which are given below. * The number of midterm exams may not be the same as the last year’s, although I am not absolutely decided on this at the moment. * Check <<ln("https://griffin.ucsc.edu/ph5b-13/Syllabus+?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=00-Syllabus.pdf", the last year's syllabus)>> for '''the textbook and the course topics'''. As for the textbook, it is ''Physics for Scientists And Engineers With Modern Physics, 4th ed., Giancoli.'' <<color("We will cover Chapters 12—16 and 32—35 in 5B.")>> * The syllabus for this site will be posted as the new quarter starts, but you can already learn about the textbook and the chapters to be covered from the last year’s syllabus, since they will remain the same. Similarly, it would be a great start if you browse through <<ln("https://griffin.ucsc.edu/ph5b-13/Lecture+#Lecture_Notes", my lecture notes of the last year)>>. |

Welcome to Physics 5B, 2014!
Lecture note 15 is up. Please study Figure 15.1 (page 13) with some care. Also, solutions to past homework have been uploaded.—7:04PM, Mar 04, 2014
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.—6:09PM, Feb 14, 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.
