HW5 solutions

can be found here. The exam problems on this material will (promise) be easier than the HW questions - the exam problems will probably be somewhere between these problems and the optics questions on your quizzes.

These HW problems were hard (mostly) intentionally - given that we had to cover the material rather quickly, I wanted you to wrestle with some harder problems in the hopes it would help the material sink in a bit better. Whether that works or not is debatable, but I think it makes sense at this point that at least reading the solutions for these harder problems will help you understand what's happening in simpler situations, even if you didn't quite solve them correctly on the HW.
