Mid-Term 3
|
Light Waves
|
|
|
Sections 25.1, 25.2, 25.4, and 25.5.
|

Sections 26.1-26.7 and 26.9-26.12.
|
|
Lenses and Optical Instruments
|
|
|
Sections 27.1-27.5, 27.7, and 27.9.
|
Final
|
All the topics above, plus the following new material:
|
|
Interference and Diffraction of Waves
|
|
|
Sections 28.1-28.7
|
|
Physics of the Atom
|
|
|
Sections 29.3-29.5, 29.7, and 29.8.
|
|
|
In Section 29.3, you need only understand the concept of photons and
the existence of a well-defined photon energy (e.g., Example 29.4).
You will not be tested on the photoelectric effect (e.g., Example 29.3).
