[Notices]
12/08/03
For on-campus students, the final exam is scheduled for 8:00 am to 10:00 am
on Thursday, Dec. 18, in Harvill 211 (our classroom). The final will be
comprehensive, and you will be allowed 2 pages of notes and a calculator.
Otherwise, the exam is closed book.
12/08/03
For on-campus students, there will be an extra lecture on Thursday,
Dec 11, at the regular time. This lecture will make up the time lost
due to the power outage last week.
12/04/03
For on-campus students, Test 2 reworks are due on Tuesday, Dec 9.
Statistics for Test 2 (on-campus students only):
Average = 65
Standard Deviation = 21
11/24/03
The errata for Ch 11 notes is now posted. It consists mainly of
a minus sign error in Eq. (11.39), (11.45a-f) and (11.46). Also, there
is a leading constant error in Eqs. (11.61) and (11.62). The minus sign
in the exponential in Eq. (11.62) is also corrected.
11/21/03
Look for some errata in Sec 11 to be posted on Monday, 11/24.
The changes are pretty minor, like minus signs and a few leading constants.
11/13/03
Test #2 covering sections 8-13 will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Note that there are two HW sets due next Thursday, Nov. 20!
10/31c/03
Reworked exams can be picked up on campus from room 642.
10/31b/03
On-campus students - Please turn your HW 10 into Pat Gransie in room 642
by 5:00 pm on Thursday, Nov 6!
10/29/03
Please see the new notes on Chs 10 and 11. They are greatly improved
in Sections 11.4-11.6!
10/24/03
Pretapes for on-campus students:
Lecture 21: Friday, Oct 31, 8:30 am-9:45 am
Lecture 22: Friday, Oct 31, noon-1:15 pm.
10/20b/03
A portion of the text for problem 8-1 should read:
"... A laser of wavelength (lambda)
is used to illuminate a diffuser placed before the Fabry Perot. Between the diffuser and Fabry Perot we place a polarizer such that the light entering the Fabry Perot is linearly polarized at an angle (theta) with respect to the slow axis of the quarter-wave plate..."
10/20/03
POLICY ON REWORK FOR TEST 1 -
Rework any problems that you missed on Test 1.
Turn in the reworked problems along with the original test.
You will be given 1/2 of the difference between the maximum
points possible on each problem and your original score if you
reworked the problem correctly. For example, if you received a
score of 60% on the original exam and reworked all problems
correctly, your total revised score will be 80%. The score of 80%
will replace your score of 60% in my grade book. Reworked exams
must be turned in by Tuesday, October 28, 2003, for on-campus students.
Off-campus students will have one week to complete the rework after they
receive their graded exam back.
10/20/03
For the Original Scores -
The average percentage score on Test 1 is 74. The standard deviation
is 14. High score: 99%, Low score: 36%. The histogram is shown below.
10/14/03
NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEK. We will make it up
in next week's assignment.
10/06/03
For on-campus students -
Please note the errata for HW 7.
The grader will not hold regular office hours this week, due to the OSA meeting.
Instead, please make an appointment if you want to see him.
10/04/03
For on-campus students -
Due to its late posting, Homework 7 is not due until
Friday, Oct 10, at 5:00pm. You may pick up a solution set
to Homework 7 as soon as you turn it in. Please turn in your
homework to Pat Gransie in room 642. Notice also that students
are only required to work two problems for Homework 7.
9/30/03
On-campus students: We will pretape Dr. Wyant's Lecture on Direct Phase
Measurement (Lecture 14) on Friday, Oct 3, at 8:30 am in Harvill 211.
Please try to attend.
9/30/03
On-campus students: Test #1 is rescheduled for Tuesday, Oct 14.
9/19/03

Gransie in room 642 on Thursday, Sept 25, if they have
already seen the lecture. Otherwise, they can turn
Homework #9 in at class in Harvill 211 on Thursday.
9/17/03
Pre-Tapes for Lectures 9 and 10 will occur on FRIDAY, Sept 19.
