Homework
Assignments:
The
problems below will be collected and graded. Homework should be neat, fully
worked out in detail, in order, and stapled. All homework should be turned
in on time for full credit! Also, you need to verify the answers in the
Schaum's problems and not just write down the answers that are given.
- LO - Physics of Light and Optics, J. Peatross and M.
Ware
- SO - Schaum's Outlines Optics, Eugene Hecht

You Might Be a Physicist if...*
- the water in your kettle is boiling at 373 Kelvin.
- you know that the velocity of light is 299,792.5 km/sec.
- you know the direction the water swirls when you flush.
- you've already calculated how much you earn per second.
- you are sure that differential equations are a very useful tool.
- you are at an air show and know how fast the skydivers are falling.
- you know the second law of thermodynamics, but not your own shirt size.
- you avoid stirring your coffee because you don't want to increase the entropy of the
universe.
- you try to explain entropy to strangers at your table during casual dinner conversation.
- your three year old son asks why the sky is blue and you try to explain atmospheric
absorption theory.
- you're at a wine tasting event and find yourself paying more attention to the cork
screws than the Chardonnay.
- you carry on a one-hour debate over the expected results of an
experiment that actually takes five minutes to run.
