| * [~-The following is a copy of an email, plus small addtions, sent to all students around 6:30 PM on Jan 25.-~] Some students failed to turn in homework in the 9-3 window on Friday, and have asked for late acceptance of homework. In response, I am giving some additional time '''for everyone''' (to be fair), only for this time. Part of the reason for giving additional time this timen is due to my cancellation of class on last Thursday, which may have disrupted the normal flow of things a bit.<<BR>> However, note that, by policy, late homework is not allowed in this course (the syllabus has been updated with this policy explictly stated now; also drop-one policy for homework is explictly stated in the syllabus).<<BR>> Regarding homework 2: 1. At this point, '''homework 2 must be submitted to me, by email''' (since Monday would be too late). The PDF format works the best. 1. '''The new deadline is 3 PM tomorrow (Jan 26).''' 1. Even if you already submitted your homework, you may submit corrections or additional work. 1. ~-Of course, if you already submitted your complete homework on Friday, you do not need to submit any more work.-~ Notes for future homework (check the updated syllabus at [[Syllabus+]]): 1. No late submission is allowed. 1. Your worst homework score will be dropped at the end of the quarter. |
* '''Lecture note 15 is up.''' Please study Figure 15.1 (page 13) with some care. Also, solutions to past homework have been uploaded.—~-''<<DateTime(2014-03-04T18:04:38-0800)>>''-~ * '''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)>>''-~ |

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.
