 1328 Final exam review info

In the past I have asked questions about the following topics:

Geometrical optics:
Ray diagrams for any situation, e.g. converging lens, diverging mirror, etc.
Calculations of image point and description of image in single optical element
problems or multiple optical element problems, e.g. 2 lens, or lens and mirror

Interference:
2 slit phenomena- intensity of light and descriptions
multislit situations (with and without phasors)
Phasor addition of waves
Thin films
Diffraction gratings

Diffraction and polarization

Diffraction through a single slit – intensity of light and descriptions
Diffraction through a round aperture – resolution criteria
Malus’s law and how to polarize light

For comprehensive part, expect "big topics". Examples include, but are not limited to:

all the definitions of the concepts - terminology

Electrostatics:
Forces on charges from charges and fields
Electric field
Gauss’s Law
Electrical potential
Electrical Circuits:
DC just resistors, just capacitors, RC, and RL
AC RC, RL, and LRC
Magnetism:
How things behave in a B field
How to make (and calculate the size of) a B field
Induction
EM waves
Fundamental optical phenomenon
Refraction and reflection

A mix of quantitative and qualitative questions will be asked.

Name: ________________________________________
(last name, first name)

This is a closed book exam. SHOW ALL WORK. Work MUST be shown to justify
your answer. Answers with no work shown will receive reductions in credit.

If anything is unclear, ask, don't guess what it means.

If you are ever in doubt of whether you should explain your answer, explain it. Your
work must be able to stand alone. You will not be allowed to explain what it means later.
If you need an explanation with your work, include it.

Equations used from the formula sheet provided do not need to be derived.
Equations that are not from the formula sheet provided need to be explained or derived.

Final answers to all computations should be given to 3 significant figures

Please turn cellular phones and similar devices off or to a non-ringing/vibrating setting.
Any typographical errors discovered during the exam will be corrected on the board in
the front of the room.

“Texting” or looking at another exam for any reason constitutes exam misconduct.
