The final exam will take place in NPB 1002
between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m. on Friday, December 17. The exam will focus on
material covered since the second mid-term: quantum-mechanics in three
dimensions and spin. Addition of angular momenta will be restricted to two
spin-½ objects. There will be two multiple-choice
questions, similar in style to questions 1—3 of Homework 8, as well as
longer problems similar in style to those appearing on the mid-terms.
Please try to arrive in the exam room by 7:25 a.m. and bring writing materials.
You may also bring three formula sheets (up to 8½" × 11") and an
electronic calculator. No other electronic devices may be used. Any
integrals beyond the basic level will be provided on the exam sheet.
