Physics 231/231C Announcements

  • An optional review session is scheduled for Sunday, April 30th at 2PM in 1410 BPS. We have the room until 4PM, but will quit early if people run out of questions. Since the session is optional, there is no need to bring clickers. Please come with questions.

  • Dr. Pratt will be out of town Monday, April, 24th.

  • The final exam for both PHY 231 and PHY 231C will be from 8:00-10:00 PM, Thursday evening, May 4th, in #1281 Anthony Hall. A make-up final will be given Friday morning, May 5th a 7:45 AM in 1420 BPS. Permission is required to take the make-up final. Students who have other finals Thursday evening or who have two other exams Thursday are eligible to take the make-up. If you are going to take the make-up, you should email me with your reason, and if the reason is a conflicting exam, give the name of the course.

  • Since our guest lecturer did not finish the material Thursday morning, April 14, the due date for Set 10 will be pushed back to Wednesday, April 19, at 11 PM, and Set 11 will be pushed back to Wednesday, April 26 a 11 PM. Set 12 will be due at the normal time, Monday, May 1.

  • The final exam will have 32 questions. 16 are conceptual, 16 are numerical. 16 refer to the material of the first 9 HW sets, while the other 16 refer to the last 3 HW sets. For the 16 "old material" questions, I will use only questions from the PHY 231 and PHY 231C midterms, and modify them for the final. You can find these 6 midterms by scrolling to the bottom of the LON-CAPA navigation page. Modifications could be minor (e.g. giving x and asking for t, rather than giving t and asking for x) or they could be more substantial, such as changing a numerical problem to a conceptual problem.
