NOTE: There is a MAJOR TYPO in the Chapter 27.1 and 27.3 handout!!
So sorry everyone! I found a major typo in the "Chapter 27 - Superposition and Thin Films" handout (it changes the meaning significantly). I corrected it and reposted below, but the handout I distributed in class still has the typo. Please make the following corrections in your handout, or download the new (corrected) version: Page 3 #3: "Now consider the interaction of the REFLECTED waves ..." (it should not say "incident waves") Page 5 #6: "Now consider the interaction of the REFLECTED waves ..." (it should not say "incident waves") Page 7 #9: "Now consider the interaction of the REFLECTED waves ..." (it should not say "incident waves") (I made the mistake on page 3, then cut/paste to the other pages -- OOPS!)
Due Wed Oct 3: Optics Lab
** Don't for get the textbook questions: - page 786/7 Focus on Concepts – all questions Page 788/9 Problems # 19 to 22, 31, 32 - page 827/8 Focus on Concepts – all questions Page 829 Problems #9, 13, 16 30, 31, 50, 51, 57, 108 Mon Oct 1 - Test (relatively small test - but more than a quiz): Chapter 24.1 to 24.3 (EM waves), and 24.6 (polarization)

MAY 10 - Physics AP-2 EXAM
A useful resource for exam prep -- old Physics 12 Provincial exam samples: www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/specs/resource_exams/physics.htm
The link below shows an excellent description of superconductivity (when electric resistance seems to drop to zero at extremely low temperatures - i.e. Ohm's law does not apply, and things get strange, at low temp). There's a short article, and a link to the award winning "Dance your PhD" video. If you watch the video 3 or 4 times I bet you'll develop a pretty good understanding of why conductivity changes at super-low temps :) www.npr.org/2019/02/16/695119872/ph-d-student-breaks-down-electron-physics-into-a-swinging-musical?fbclid=IwAR0otPX8IvT5nud3Q7T9fNkgqXfp9vyn_fIsqFwLJypzUGgYFzw9Q2JzMXI
