Tomorrow (Tuesday):
- Group B has a lecture (lasers 2)
- Group A has a lab (interference)
Thursday is exam #2 day (UPDATED):
- Same format as last exam, same rules. Solve 5 of the 6 problems, but this time we'll treat the 6th one as bonus credit if you do all 6.
- 3 of the problems will be: 1 general laser concepts (essay question), 1 more quantitative laser concepts (less essay), 1 geometrical optics (ray tracing type, potentially using formulas). For these, review laser lectures and last exam.
- 3 other problems will be on interference and diffraction. The interference & diffraction questions will be confined to material we covered in lecture. Possible topics include: variants on the double slit, thin film interference, superposition of oscillators/antennas, diffraction gratings, and rectangular or other simple apertures.

Should that be qualitative laser concepts (less essay)?
ReplyDeleteNo, the problem would be more quantitative, i.e. less essay-type and more formula-type.
