14(7) and 28(1,2 up to the top of p. 919): know the condition(s) for constructive interference and destructive interference of two waves |
I bet that the light chapter (25) tells! I bet it even has diagrams showing what's waving! and did you know light has different names? (section 3 of that chapter tells how those light names are different) |

|
(brought to class): Part 3 of lab C6: do the wave addition of two waves with frequency 14 and 18 as described and answer the associated questions about that addition (the Wave Addition software is available from the T drive at T:\Software\Physics\Wave_Addition) |
|

bring
your non-spring (RED, I
think) lab book for today's lab we start lab C3 in block D; don't wear your best clothes; you might have to be on the floor.... (garden) gloves might be a good idea; it may keep your hands from bleeding |
exercise 1 ONLY brought to class on paper; it will be graded in class and turned in (so complete it on separate paper) we start lab C3 in block F we continue lab C3 in D don't wear your best clothes; you might have to be on the floor.... (garden) gloves might be a good idea; it may keep your hands from bleeding |
exercise 2 ONLY brought to class on paper; it will be graded in class and turned in (so complete it on separate paper) both classes: bring your v-vs-T graph with appropriate fit AND matching table from lab part b earlier this week |
| what
we'll do in class |
you
will tell me where the three basic SHM laws (which we originally saw in the context of springs: the spring force, the spring energy, and the SHM equation) showed up in your reading below |
a very busy day: you will tell me about damped and resonant motion AND know about traveling waves (from chapter 14 sections) |
talk about lab C3 results i will ask you to tell me what conditions are required to have a standing wave grade the assignment (Exercise 2) you brought to class lab C4 postponed to monday |
||
|
(always done before class) |
|
and 13(6) |
be able to translate these sections into English what does "damped" motion really mean (what is it due to)? what is resonance (in English)? bring an example of resonance to class 14(1 and 2): don't worry about the numerical calculations know what the speed of a pulse depends on |
now paying attention to the formulas AND CALCULATIONS and knowing them for class today |
and first 3 pages of 14(8) 14(3) would be helpful too |

what we'll do in class |
talk about simple harmonic motion (know what it is) and about spring energy (know what it is and how they came up with the formula for it) |
spring lab continues make sure that part 1 of the spring lab is completely finished during class today (if you didnt get checked in class, make sure that you leave me the lab book in the box) |
spring
lab continuesin block F (block F must be finished completely with parts 1 and 2 before class; if you are missing any checks, please leave lab book in the black box by noon today, and I will check before block F starts) test in D on anything dealing with electric and magnetic fields, forces, and energy (chapters 19, 20, 22, at least including some parts of chapter 24); block D must be finished with parts 1 and 2 in the spring lab before tomorrow's 8 am class; if you did not finish in class yesterday and are missing checks (at 6, 10, and 13), leave lab book in black box by 5 pm today, so i can check it before class tomorrow morning) |

lab continues in block D test in F on anything dealing with electric and magnetic fields, forces, and energy (chapters 19, 20, 22, at least including some parts of chapter 24) |

| what
we'll do in class |
practice
the right hand rule for the force on a current (or moving charge)
produced by an extrenal B field |
practical examples of magnetic fields |
build a motor |
use a generator learn about the spring force law (our last new force) |
start the spring lab |
|
(always done before class) |
LEARN the new right-hand rule for magnetic force have you read 22(8)? some gave the impression as not having done so... |
& the practical examplses of each: where have we seen a velocity selector this week? what war did a mass spectrometer help win? |
Walker 23(1,2,6) TWTW 300-301, 304-305 TWTW new editon 280-281, 284-285 |
know what magnetic flux is 23(3): know what the new law is (Faraday's and Lenz's law) 23(6) on the physics of generators and motors (e.g., list the things necessary to make a motor; list the things necessary to have a generator; how are a motor and a generator related to each other) |

presentation |
lilac sheet: do all parts: in the first set of questions, find the direction of the force given the direction of v (the direction of the current or the moving charge) and the magnetic field in the second set of questions, find the direction of the B field which produces the given force direction on the moving charge (whose velocity is shown) |
22(14) (but make sure that you do a force diagram) |
finish prelab to C2 spring lab through part (4) on the bottom of the first page of the lab handout (we will start this in class thursday) done in BLUE lab book spring lab begins (bring your BLUE lab book) |

|
homework (by 5 pm) |
|
|
follow the usual force diagram procedure (Walker does a similar problem on pp. 722-723, but he does not do very well at following OUR established procedure -- get out those IVORY guides! -- I'm sure you will do much better) for challenge 1 and some of the later challenges, you will need to have access to the Charged Particle software because it shows you time, tells you if your solution is correct, allows you to make measurements, etc. (you can do most of challenge 1, however, without the software, and I encourage you to do so) Charged Particles users guide |
