Physics 132 - Fundamentals of Physics 2

Dr. Jeffery A. Spirko

Here is the Right-Hand Rule sheet for the magnetic force. You still have to be able to do the "Second Right-Hand Rule".
Lab Finals are This Week
Our CPS Class Key is G27751F373. Register your CPS remotes on einstruction.com.
Syllabus

The final exam is Wed, May 9 at 8am or 2pm, depending on when you normally come to class. Please come to the correct final unless you make arrangements with me personally.
Final Exam Equation Sheet - Let me know about any questions/problems.
You get a 3x5 card, both sides. No magnifying glasses.
The final is cumulative and counts for 20% of your grade.
- Static Electricity
- DC and AC Circuits
- Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction
- Waves
- Light and Optics

HW22 - HW22 Solutions - Due Thu, 5/3
HW21 - HW21 Solutions - Due Mon, 4/30
HW20 - HW20 Solutions - Due Thu, 4/26 - (Note Problem 6 answer B should be +1.8 m.)
HW19 - HW19 Solutions - Due Mon, 4/23
HW18 - HW18 Solutions - Due Thu, 4/19
Final Topics:
- AC Circuits - Just a quick overview.
- Light as electromagnetic radiation, Intensity, Polarization
- Refraction and Reflection
- Lens Optics
Self-Assessment - I suggest understanding these questions. Use Internet Exploror because their website is buggy. Don't be afraid to click on the wrong answers to read the explanations for more insight.

Quiz 3 - Version 1 - Version 2
Suggested practice problems: Chapter 16, Problems 1, *3, 5, 13, *15, 23, *25, 27, 29, 31, 41, 49, *51, 53, 59, 61, *65, 67, 71, 73, 75, 77, *81, 85, *87, 89, 91, *93, *95. Chapter 17, Problems *17, 19, *23, 27, 29, 31, 35 (note that the "first three harmonics" don't start at the "first harmonic" which is the fundamental), *37, 41, 45, 49, 51. In this list, I included all odd problems that I might ask about. The answers are in the back of the book; email me if you need them.
Chapter 16 (not speed of sound in liquid or solid).
Chapter 17 (not 17.2 (Interference); not 17.3 (Diffraction))
Note that the m/L in the speed of a wave on a string is called the linear mass density.
A page 3 has been added to the equation sheet.
My brief notes on waves are below with the waves handouts.
Quiz 3 Conceptual Examples - Answers

Make sure you understand all of the problems in the Self-Assessment Tests 20.1 and 20.2.
(Note: use Internet Explorer and follow the link below to the textbook website.)
(Note 2: don't worry about Problem 4 on the first Self-Assessment Test.)
(Note 3: if you can't access the Self-Assessment Tests, email me.)

UC Berkeley Waves Lecture
How to solve simultaneous equations
Website for our textbook - The "WWW Solutions" section contains the problems marked with "www" in our text. The self-assessment tests are good, but use Internet Explorer for them. The Interactive LearningWare works fine. The Interactive Solutions are numbered for the next edition of the book.
