Exam III solutions

Right now, you are still busy taking the exam ... its not so bad, is it?

Here are the solutions, and here is the exams folder to see all 3 exams and solutions.

I should be able to hand back the exams as well as your papers this coming Tuesday in class (in which I will give a lecture on how hard disks and flash memory work).

Exam III is this Friday

So. You have an exam on Friday during the recitation period. Since this means you have only 50 minutes to complete the exam, it will be short if nothing else. The following material is fair game (numbers refer to sections in Serway & Faughn):

• Lenses (23.4-7)
• Quantum Physics (27.1-3,5,6,8)
• Atomic Physics (28.1-7,11)
• Nuclear Physics (29.1-6)

The exam will have a format somewhat like the final exam, though shorter: there will be both problems (like exam II) and multiple choice questions (like exam I).

• multiple choice questions
• 50% of the grade
• approximately 8 questions
• like the quizzes - some conceptual questions
  
• 4 problems given / solve 2
• 50% of the grade
• choose to solve 2 of the 4; all have equal weight

You may bring in a formula sheet and a calculator, following the same rules as last time around. Your time will be limited on Friday. Don't be late.

Finally: you will know the results of exam III and your grade going into the final by Thursday of `dead week' (possibly excluding the paper grade ... I don't know yet if I can read 50 of them in a week or not).

Exam II solutions / quiz solutions

Just in time for final exam season, the detailed solutions to Exam II are ready. Note that Exam I and its solution are still there.

Also, at long last, all of the quiz solutions are available.

Papers due tomorrow ...

Just a friendly reminder that your 5 page papers are due tomorrow ...

Sending me a PDF is the preferred form of submission. Other file formats are fine (e.g., MS Word ) if you aren't sure how to generate a PDF. Of course, hard copies are fine too, if you want to go that route.
