Text

College Physics, by Randy Knight, Brian Jones, and Stuart Field, Pearson/Addison Wesley, 1st edition, 2007.

Student Learning Objectives

Understand the principles of the wave and ray models of light

Understand and be able to compute properties based on interference patterns (slits and gratings)

Use the ray model (and be able to use ray tracing) to locate images in lenses and mirrors.

Understand and apply the laws of reflection and refraction.

Use the thin lens equation to find image positions for lenses and mirrors.

Understand how cameras, the human eye, microscopes, and telescopes work.

HomeworkWe are using an electronic homework system from Mastering Physics (MP). All text based homework is to be downloaded from, solved, and the answers submitted on-line to www.masteringphysics.com . DRS problems will also be given out in class and will need to be turned in. Mastering Physics problem will be denoted by MP and the appropriate day number. See the Expectations and Procedures document for penalty details on submitting late work.Reading and MP problemsQ = Conceptual/Multiple Choice Questions at the end of the text chapterP = Problems at the end of the text chapterST = Step through/Skill builder problems in Mastering PhysicsMP #Assigned DateLab PrepReading?sProbsST and Other
